THOSE ARE AT HENSLEY AND WOODBRIDGE, HENSLEY AND MCCREERY. AND WHAT IS THE LAST ONE? MISTER PARKER CROSSING, CREEK CROSSING AND SOUTH BALLARD. SO THOSE THREE LOCATIONS ARE THE ONES THAT WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS IF APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL. I KNOW WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF CITIZENS OVER TIME WHO HAVE ASKED ABOUT THESE AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE KNEW THAT THIS WAS ON THE AGENDA AND UP FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL THIS EVENING.

I WANT TO TAKE A QUICK SECOND JUST TO THANK STAFF. IF YOU FOLLOWED, WE BID THE A SINGLE LIGHT LAST YEAR. AND THE COST CAME IN AT WELL OVER $1 MILLION. AND SO THESE PROJECTS WERE INSTEAD CONSOLIDATED TOGETHER. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE ESSENTIALLY GETTING THREE FOR THE PRICE OF ONE BY DOING THAT. SO I WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR THEIR WORK IN STRETCHING DOLLARS TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN PROVIDE SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS AT MORE THAN ONE LOCATION FOR THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY. BUT IT IS THOSE SAME THREE.

IT'S A VERY ACTIVE BOARD AND WE ARE ENGAGED IN PRESERVING THROUGH CONSERVATION THE CURRENT WATER SUPPLIES THAT WE HAVE, AS WELL AS PLANNING FUTURE WATER SUPPLIES. RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING OUT TO 2080. SO WE'RE TRYING TO BE WELL AHEAD OF THE CURVE ON THAT. IT IS AN HONOR TO BE ABLE TO SERVE THE CITIZENS OF WYLIE AND THE CITIZENS OF THE DISTRICT IN PROVIDING THE LIFE GIVING WATER THAT WE NEED, BOTH FOR OUR CURRENT AND OUR FUTURE RESIDENTS.

WE'LL MOVE TO NUMBER TWO THIS EVENING, WHICH IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON A PRELIMINARY PLAT OF COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES, CREATING 173 RESIDENTIAL LOTS, SEVEN HOA AND SEVEN HOA LOTS ON 59.755 ACRES, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 1755 FM 1378 AND 18, 13 AND 2241 MCMILLAN ROAD. MR. HASKINS.

THANK YOU MAYOR. THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED THAT COUNCIL TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING. BECAUSE THEY'RE WORKING OUT SOME DRAINAGE ISSUES. SWEET GUM WILL GO PUNCH THROUGH. AS YOU KNOW THE OPTION COUNCIL'S PREFERENCE, STAFF'S PREFERENCE, AND THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVED IN THAT AREA, THAT WAS THE PREFERENCE THERE. BUT GETTING THAT PUNCHED THROUGH, THERE'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO DO THAT. AND AS THE APPLICANT MOVED FURTHER ALONG IN THEIR SEVILLES, ONCE THEY HAD DONE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, THEY REALIZED THAT THERE MIGHT BE A COUPLE OF MODIFICATIONS AND SOME BETTER WAYS TO DO THAT IN ORDER TO HANDLE DOWNSTREAM DRAINAGE. SO THEY'RE ASKING TO TABLE THE ITEM INSTEAD OF APPROVING IT, BECAUSE THEN THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK WITH AN AMENDED ONE ANYWAY. OKAY. WITH THAT, THE APPLICANT IS HERE THIS EVENING.

I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS I CAN. OKAY. SO OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE HAD THE REQUEST TO TABLE THAT HAS BEEN OR THE REQUEST TO POSTPONE. I'M NOT SURE. YES, SIR. IT'S REQUIRED BY STATE LAW THAT THE APPLICANT HAS TO REQUEST IN WRITING, AND COUNCIL HAS TO APPROVE THAT REQUEST. OKAY,

[00:55:03]

WELL, WE DO HAVE A CITIZEN WHO HAS ASKED TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN THAT'S BEEN THE REQUEST THAT THEY ARE GIVEN THAT OPPORTUNITY. SO MR. JOSHUA THRONEBURG, IF YOU WILL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES IN WHICH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL. SOUNDS GOOD. MY NAME IS JOSHUA BROMBERG. LIVE AT 1423 BEAR PAW LANE. APPRECIATE Y'ALL LETTING ME SPEAK TONIGHT ON A ITEM TO TABLE. THIS THIS PART.

LET ME BE CLEAR ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WE ALREADY KNOW LOTS ABOUT ON THIS, WHICH IS THERE'S A DRAINAGE ISSUE AT MCMILLEN RIGHT OFF MUDDY CREEK THROUGH THERE. NOT ONLY IS IT AN ISSUE THERE, BUT IT IS AN ISSUE THROUGH THE ENTIRETY OF MUDDY CREEK AS WELL AS THE RESERVOIR DOWN DOWNSTREAM. AND THIS ISN'T JUST A FUTURE RISK. IT'S A CURRENT ONGOING PROBLEM. FLOODING HAPPENS REGULARLY, IMPACTING STREETS, YARDS, FIELDS, CARS AND HOMES. MANY OF US LIVE WITH THE REALITY THAT EVEN MODERATE RAIN CAN TURN INTO SIGNIFICANT RUNOFF AND FLOODING. THIS AREA DOES INCLUDE A FEMA DESIGNATED 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN. ON PAPER, THAT'S A 1% CHANCE OF FLOODING EACH YEAR, BUT IN PRACTICE, WE'RE SEEING FLOODING NEARLY EVERY TIME IT RAINS. THIS TELLS US THE SYSTEM ISN'T FUNCTIONING AS IT SHOULD, AND THE DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE IS EITHER OVERWHELMED OR OUTDATED. REFERENCING WEBSITES SUCH AS THE USGS WATER DATA RESOURCES. EVERY TIME THAT THE WATER GAUGE IS AT LEAST 18FT ON THERE, THERE IS MANY REFERENCES, NOT ONLY TO PICTURES THAT I HAVE SINCE I LIVE THERE AND I TAKE PICTURES, BUT ALSO THROUGH A FACEBOOK PAGE ON THE S CURVE, THROUGH VARIOUS OTHER POSTS AND PICTURES, AS WELL AS THE NIXLE ALERTS THAT THE ROAD CLOSES AND IT FLOODS DRAMATICALLY. WITH THAT CONTEXT IN MIND, I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT THE REQUEST TO TABLE THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION OF 173 HOMES SO THAT DRAINAGE STUDIES CAN BE COMPLETED. THAT PAUSE SHOWS A LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY, AND I APPRECIATE THE SPACE IT CREATES FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION. WITH THAT SAID, I RESPECTFULLY ASK THE COUNCIL CAN THE CITY COMMIT TO A FULL AND TRANSPARENT REVIEW OF DRAINAGE AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT IN THE MUDDY CREEK AND MCMILLAN ROAD BEFORE THIS PROJECT DOES MOVE FORWARD? WILL THAT REVIEW INCLUDE REAL WORLD FLOODING PATTERNS, NOT JUST OUTDATED MAPS AND MINIMAL MODELING? AND WILL THE FINDINGS BE AND PLANS BE MADE PUBLIC SO RESIDENTS CAN CAN SEE WHAT'S BEING DONE? AND THIS ISN'T A MATTER OF BEING AGAINST GROWTH. IT'S ABOUT BEING FOR RESPONSIBLE PLANNING. WYLIE DESERVES DEVELOPMENT THAT ENHANCES THE COMMUNITY, NOT DEVELOPMENT THAT DEEPENS EXISTING PROBLEMS FOR CURRENT RESIDENTS AND NEIGHBORS. AGAIN, I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE DEVELOPER TO TABLE THE ITEM FOR FURTHER DRAINAGE STUDIES, AND I THANK THE COUNCIL FOR LISTENING. BYE NOW. THAT. BUT NOW THE CITY HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE DRAINAGE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN BUILDING FOR YEARS IN THIS PART OF TOWN. SO LET'S NOT WASTE THE PAUSE AND LET'S USE IT TO FIX THE FOUNDATION. APPRECIATE Y'ALL'S TIME ON THIS. THANK YOU SIR. AND AS STATED COUNCIL, WE DO HAVE A REQUEST FOR IT TO BE TABLED UNTIL MAY 13TH, 2025. COUNCILMAN MALIKI, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I'LL MAKE A COMMENT AND THEN IF YOU'RE READY, I'LL MAKE A MOTION. UNLESS SOMEBODY ELSE HAS ANYTHING. I APPRECIATE THE DEVELOPERS. COMING TO US AND MAKING SURE THAT THE DRAINAGE IS BEING RESTUDIED, OR LOOKED AT IT AGAIN AND MAKING SURE THAT THAT AREA IS GOING TO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT JUST GOING TO BUILD SOMETHING TO FIX ONE THING. WE'RE GOING TO BUILD SOMETHING TO BE, YOU KNOW, 100 YEARS FROM NOW AND DEPENDS ON HOW THAT AREA GROWS AND CHANGES AND WHATNOT.

SO WE WANT TO LOOK AT THAT, AND I APPRECIATE THE TIME THAT THEY'RE PUTTING IN TO LOOK INTO THAT AND FIX THAT. SO WITH THAT SAID, I'M HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS ITEM. OKAY. IF YOU WILL STATE IT AS IT STATES IN THE PACKET JUST BECAUSE IT DOES. WE DO HAVE A COMMENT. I'LL GIVE YOU THE FLOOR BACK. I WANT TO OPEN IT UP FOR COMMENTS REAL QUICK. DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT? IF NOT, I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP FOR COMMENTS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE YET. SO GIVE ME ONE SECOND IF YOU WILL. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. THANK YOU MAYOR. MR. ASKINS, I WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO FIND OUT AS FAR AS THE LEVEL OF STUDY THEY'RE DOING. DO WE KNOW WHAT THAT IS OR HOW THAT TIES TO HOW THE ORIGINAL PRELIMINARY PLAT WAS DONE? THE APPLICANT CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT BASICALLY WHAT IT AMOUNTS TO IS THAT, WELL, THEY DRAIN IT ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY. OR ARE THEY GOING THERE'S ACTUALLY LOOKING AT TRYING TO GET AN EASEMENT FROM THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR IN ORDER TO HELP REGULATE THAT FLOW. OKAY. SO AND THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS THERE FOR THEM. AND THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE IS GOING TO BE THE BEST OPTION FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED. IS IT ONLY FOR THE CUT THROUGH FROM THE STREET. IS THAT THE ONLY AREA THAT IS IT'S THE ENTIRE PROPERTY. IT IS THE ENTIRE PROPERTY. YES, SIR. SO

[01:00:02]

DID THE FLOODPLAIN AREA GET. A REVISED PLAN OR ANYTHING FOR RECLAMATION? IS THERE ANY OF THAT NEEDED? IS THAT PART OF THIS? NO, SIR. IT'S NOT PART OF. NO, IT'S JUST WHETHER THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DRAIN IT, WHETHER THEY'RE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO DRAIN IT ALL ON THEIR PROPERTY AND THEN USE THAT DETENTION POND, OR ARE THEY GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET AN EASEMENT FROM THEIR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR, WHOSE UNDEVELOPED PROPERTY AND USE THAT TO SLOW DOWN THE FLOW? AND SO THEIR ENGINEERING RIGHT NOW DOESN'T PUSH ANY WATER OFF THEIR PROPERTY. THAT IS CORRECT. WHICH IS NOT ALLOWED BY STATE LAW. SO JUST MAKING SURE THAT THAT WAS MY MAIN POINT. YES, SIR. AS OF RIGHT NOW, IT'S DESIGNED DOESN'T PUSH ANY OF IT'S WATER OFF OF ITS PROPERTY. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. NO PROBLEM SIR. OKAY. COUNCILMAN MALIKI, YOU WERE LOOKING TO MAKE A MOTION. AND AGAIN, IF YOU WILL READ AS STATED FOR US, THERE ARE, I GUESS, MOTION TO TABLE THE ITEM AS REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT UNTIL MAY 13TH, 2025.

OKAY. AND DO WE HAVE A SECOND? COUNCILMAN STRANG I'LL SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND. IF COUNCIL WILL PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. AND THE ITEM IS

[3. Consider, and act upon, authorizing the City Manager to sign a Development Agreement pending Annexation, between the City of Wylie and Wylie 33, LLC for the development of a manufactured home community generally located on the east side of East FM 544 at Alanis Drive.]

TABLED. AS REQUESTED. WITH THAT, WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER THREE. ITEM NUMBER THREE IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PENDING ANNEXATION BETWEEN THE CITY OF WYLIE AND WYLIE 33, LLC, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MANUFACTURED HOME COMMUNITY GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF EAST FM 544 AT ALLEN EAST DRIVE. MISTER HASKINS, THANK YOU MAYOR. THE APPLICANT HAS A PRESENTATION TODAY THAT THEY WANT TO GIVE THAT'S GOING TO COVER SOME OF THE BIG PICTURE ITEMS. AND I JUST WANT TO KIND OF MENTION BEFORE THEY GET STARTED WITH THAT, THAT THE NEXT THREE ITEMS ARE ALL RELATED. THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, THE ANNEXATION SERVICES AGREEMENT AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OF ANNEXATION. STATE LAW REQUIRES US TO DO THESE IN A CERTAIN ORDER. BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE COUNCIL AWARE THAT ALL THREE OF THESE ITEMS ARE RELATED WITH EACH OTHER, AND THEY'RE ALL THE SAME PROPERTY. WITH THAT, AND I KNOW YOU GUYS PROVIDED ONE TO US. IT'S SIMILAR, I BELIEVE, TO WHAT WE SAW DURING OUR WORK SESSION AND UNFORTUNATELY ARRIVED LATE TO BE ABLE TO GET INTO THE PACKET. I WOULD ASK, AS YOU GO THROUGH IT, IF YOU CAN KIND OF HIGHLIGHT THE CHANGES THAT MAY HAVE BEEN MADE FROM THE WORK SESSION. IN PRESENTING THAT, SO THAT AS COUNCIL HAS NOT HAD TIME TO REALLY REVIEW THIS. A MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY MANAGER, CITIZENS. WYLIE. MY NAME IS DAVID ZULEIKA. 1401 EAST FM 544 WYLIE, TEXAS. FIRST STEP HOMES OWNER MANUFACTURED HOME DEVELOPER. PREMIER MANUFACTURED HOME DEVELOPER IN THE DFW AREA. WE'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN CREATING 1150 SITES THAT ARE CURRENTLY HAVE BEEN BUILT AND ARE CURRENTLY FILLING IN EVERYWHERE FROM LITTLE ELM TO GREENVILLE TO TYLER, AND HAVE A NEW PROJECT HERE IN DALLAS THAT WE HAVE DONE. THAT'S 437 SPACES THAT ARE BEING BUILT AS WE SPEAK. WE'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN ZONING SIX OTHER PROPERTIES FOR MANUFACTURED HOUSING, ALL THE WAY FROM FORT WORTH TO GRAND PRAIRIE TO DALLAS AND SHERMAN. AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANNEXING, ANNEXING AND HOPEFULLY GETTING THIS ZONED FOR A 237 SITE HERE. THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE CITY OF WYLIE. WE LOOK FORWARD TO AND KNOW THAT IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO BE PART OF THE CITY OF WYLIE, AND LOOK FORWARD TO MOVING SOMETHING THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT FORWARD. AND I'VE GOT MY ENGINEER HERE THIS EVENING THAT CAN GO THROUGH THE PROJECT AND JUST THE DETAILS OF IT. KYLE BURLEIGH, COULD YOU, MR. MAYOR COUNCIL. MY NAME IS KYLE. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT FOR FIRST UP HOMES. I'LL GIVE A BRIEF UPDATE ON THE PROJECT, WHAT WE'RE DOING, AND NOTE THE CHANGES THAT WE WENT THROUGH. SO AGAIN, WE BUILD MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITIES. SOME OF THE NICEST IN THE STATE. THESE HOMES ARE BUILT OFF SITE IN A FACTORY. THEY ARE BUILT JUST LIKE SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES. THEY'RE BUILT ON A FRAME AND DELIVERED TO THE SITE. THIS. THIS ALLOWS US TO CUT DOWN COSTS, GREEN TECHNIQUES AND CONSTRUCTION. ONCE THE HOMES ARE THERE, WE SELL THEM TO THE RESIDENTS FOR HOME OWNERSHIP. WE BUILD COMMUNITY ORIENTED DEVELOPMENTS WITH LUXURY AMENITIES, GATED SECURE COMMUNITIES AND LIFESTYLE CENTRIC MAINTENANCE, INCLUDING LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE, IS INCLUDED. GYM MEMBERSHIP TO OUR CLUBHOUSE, WALKING TRAILS, DOG PARKS, ALL THAT. WE ALSO PROVIDE IN-HOUSE FINANCING TO OUR RESIDENTS. THESE PEOPLE ARE THE ARE THE SAME FOLKS OUT THERE

[01:05:02]

THESE DAYS THAT CAN'T QUALIFY FOR THE $400,000 SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE, BUT THEY CAN COME INTO OUR HOUSE WITH WITH EASY QUALIFICATION. MARKET INTEREST RATES 20TH YEAR, 23 YEAR TERMS ON THESE HOMES. THE MAIN PEOPLE COMING TO OUR DEVELOPMENTS ARE FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS. WE ALSO HAVE PEOPLE DOWNSIZING. IT'S A BIG, BIG MARKET OF OURS AS WELL AS THE WORKFORCE, THE TEACHERS, THE FIRST RESPONDERS, THE IT'S GOOD SEEING THOSE GUYS TODAY. THE LABOR WORKFORCE, SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, OUR FUTURE RESIDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO LIVE IN OUR DEVELOPMENT. THIS THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT IS ABOUT $55 MILLION. WE PROMOTE HOME OWNERSHIP. WE'RE PROVIDING TAXES TO THE CITY WITH THIS ANNEXATION. BUILDING OUR TAX BASE. WE'RE GOING TO BE PROPOSING THE FUNDING OF ALANIS DRIVE, THE EXTENSION OF THAT. AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE HAVE PROFESSIONAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WHEN WE'RE REVIEWING THIS AFTER OUR WORK SESSION, WHICH WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK. WE WENT AND REVIEWED THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ON THE FIRST PAGE OF THE HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOOD SECTION, IT HIGHLIGHTS COMMENTS THAT WERE PRESENTED DURING THIS, SPECIFICALLY THAT THE CITY WOULD LIKE MORE ENTRY LEVEL HOUSING FOR SINGLES AND FOR SMALL FAMILIES. IT ALSO NOTES IN BOLD, AND THIS IS IN THE BOTTOM OF THAT SECTION. IT WOULD LIKE TO SEE SMALLER HOMES AND SMALLER LOTS USING THE PD PROCESS, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE ASKING TO DO. WE ALSO LIKE TO SEE MORE OPTIONS FOR SENIORS WHO WOULD LIKE TO DOWNSIZE TO SMALLER HOMES. SO WE DO FEEL THAT THIS PROJECT WE'RE IN DOES MEET A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS SEEKING AS THEIR GOAL WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT. SO HERE'S THE PROPERTY LOCATION. AS YOU KNOW IT'S A IT'S AN ODD SHAPED SITE. IT'S A DIFFICULT SITE TO DEVELOP. SO WE'RE WE'RE BEING AS CREATIVE AS WE CAN. HERE'S OUR REVISED PLAN I KNOW OVERALL IT LOOKS SIMILAR, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY DIFFERENT. WE'VE ADJUSTED OUR ROAD ALIGNMENTS. WE'VE CAPTURED WHERE WE SHOWED GREEN SPACE PREVIOUSLY BEHIND HOMES, BETWEEN HOMES ALONG THE PERIMETERS. WE'VE CAPTURED THOSE IN THE LOTS TO INCREASE LOT SIZE. LOOKING AT A SINGLE FAMILY PLAT, THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT WOULD BE DONE THERE AS WELL. A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS WE'D LIKE TO NOTE. THE COMPARISON. IF WE WERE SEEKING STRAIGHT ZONING, WE WOULD BE SEEKING MANUFACTURED HOUSING PARK, NOT MANUFACTURED HOUSING SUBDIVISION. THIS WILL BE A ONE LOT PLAT. THE CODE AT CITY OF WYLIE IS 5500FT■!S PER LOT FOR MANUFACTURED HOUSING PARK. I THINK IT'S 7200 FOR MANUFACTURED HOUSING SUBDIVISION. ALSO, THE MANUFACTURED HOUSING PARK CODE ALLOWS UP TO SEVEN HOMES AN ACRE. OUR PROPOSED EXPANSION IS AT 33.95 HOMES AN ACRE. AND THAT INCLUDES THE DUPLEXES. WE DID HEAR WHAT YOUR YOUR CONCERNS AND WE REDUCED OUR NUMBER OF DUPLEXES. WE'VE ADDED SOME DOUBLE WIDE UNITS IN THOSE LOTS ARE 65FT WIDE LOTS. A LOT OF OUR OTHER LOTS ARE 50FT WIDE. SO THESE ARE WHILE THERE ARE SOME SKINNIER LOTS AND LONGER AND WHATNOT. THIS IS A VERY SINGLE FAMILY LOOKING DEVELOPMENT WITH LARGE, LARGE LOTS. I'M GOING TO PASS IT TO CHRIS HERE TO TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT OF OUR AMENITIES AND A FEW OTHER ITEMS. GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR. COUNCIL. MY NAME IS CHRIS SWANSON WITH FIRST STEP HOMES.

YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN THIS SLIDE BEFORE, BUT I WANTED TO POINT A COUPLE OF THINGS OUT. THESE ARE ACTUAL PHOTOS FROM THE CLUBHOUSE ON THREE BRAND NEW BUILDS. DOWN IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A BUSINESS CENTER. BEING THE MANAGER OF TWO OF OUR THREE. EXCUSE ME. BRAND NEW GROUND UP BUILDS. I GET TO SEE KIDS COME OFF THE BUS EVERY SINGLE DAY AND GO INTO THIS COMPUTER LAB, WORK ON THEIR HOMEWORK. I GET TO SEE FOLKS USING THE COMPUTERS THAT MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO IT. ON THIS NEXT SLIDE HERE. YOU SEE OUR VERY WELL APPOINTED GYM. THIS IS HIGH QUALITY GYM EQUIPMENT, SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD FIND IN A LA FITNESS OR A LIFETIME FITNESS.

WE HAVE OUR RESORT STYLE POOL. WE HAVE AN AERIAL SHOT SHOWING THE PLAYGROUND, THE CLUBHOUSE AND THE POOL. AND JUST A PHOTO TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT THIS IS A GATED COMMUNITY. WE TAKE SECURITY IN THESE COMMUNITIES VERY SERIOUSLY. THIS PHOTO HERE IS OF DOUBLE WIDES WITH A 612 PITCH ROOF. ONE OF THE COMMENTS FROM OUR WORK SESSION IS IF WE WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE THESE UNITS ON SITE, AND IN FACT WE WILL, WE HAVE ADDED TO OUR PLAN. DOUBLE WIDES SPECIFICALLY WITH THE 612 ROOF PITCH. ALSO, YOU WILL SEE AN EXAMPLE OF A SINGLE WIDE WITH SMART BOARD SKIRTING. THESE WERE ON THE PLAN ORIGINALLY, BUT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS IS WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO PUT ON

[01:10:01]

THIS SITE. PHOTOS. HERE ARE REAL EXAMPLES OF HOMES ON OUR EXISTING PROPERTIES THAT WE'RE BUILDING. YOU CAN SEE THE INSIDES OF THESE HOMES ARE QUALITY CONSTRUCTION, VERY WELL APPOINTED. ONE OF THE COMMENTS DURING OUR WORK SESSION IS HOW AN MH PROPERTY AFFECTS THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY VALUES. WHAT THIS SLIDE HIGHLIGHTS HERE IS THE EXISTING HIDDEN VALLEY TINY HOME AND RV PARK. IT WAS EXISTING. IT IS AN AMENITIZED. THERE ARE NO AMENITIES THERE.

AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON THESE CHARTS. HERE ARE SOME SURROUNDING HOME VALUES. DID NOT DECREASE. IN FACT, THEY'VE INCREASED WITH THE EXISTENCE OF THIS AMENITIZED PARK. WE FEEL THAT ONCE WE AMENITIZED AND CLEAN UP THE SITE AND ADD MORE VALUE TO THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, YOUR PROPERTY VALUES WILL NOT BE AFFECTED. BY MH. AND THEN LASTLY, YOU CAN SEE ON THIS SLIDE ONE OF THE COMMENTS WAS HOW DO OUR COMMUNITIES COEXIST WITH OTHER SINGLE FAMILY MANUFACTURED COMMUNITIES AROUND THE AREA? THIS IS OUR PROJECT IN OAK POINT, AND YOU CAN SEE HOME VALUES RANGING FROM, YOU KNOW, OVER $1 MILLION IN DIRECT VICINITY OF OUR PARKS. AND WHAT THIS SHOWS IS THAT OUR QUALITY COMMUNITIES DO NOT AFFECT HOME VALUES NEGATIVELY. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I WILL BE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY. I DON'T SEE ANYBODY WITH IMMEDIATE QUESTIONS. AND WE DID HAVE SOMEONE THAT ASKED TO SPEAK. SO I'M GOING TO CALL UP THE CITIZEN WHO WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. SO IF YOU'LL GIVE US A SECOND FOR THAT. SO I HAVE MR. READ BY BOTH WHO ASKED TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. READ BY THE 2722 WEST FM 544 MAYOR AND COUNCIL APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY. APPRECIATE Y'ALL HEARING THESE PEOPLE OUT. I REALLY BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO HERE. I GO BACK AND WILEY, I FIRST SAT ON PNC IN THE YEAR 2000 TO 2005, AND I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY FROM CLAUDE THOMPSON AND THEN MISS RENEE ALI AFTER THAT. AND THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STUCK WITH ME THAT CLAUDE TAUGHT US AT THAT TIME AND PROBABLY ULTIMATELY GOT HIM FIRED, BUT HE OR RETIRED.

BUT HIGHEST YIELD DOMESTIC, I MEAN, RESIDENTIALLY SPEAKING, HIGHEST YIELD TAX YIELD IN FROM DEVELOPMENT COMES FROM DENSITY IN THE CITY. AND AT THAT POINT IN TIME THE, I GUESS YOU MIGHT SAY THE FATTEST CALENDAR ON THE IN THE FARM WAS SOUTH FORK MOBILE HOME PARK. AND HE SHOWED US AND HE SHOWED US WHY. BUT DURING THAT TIME, THAT STRETCH ON P AND Z, WE STARTED THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE FIRST ONE CAME OUT IN 2003. IT'S BEEN AMENDED TWICE SINCE THEN, BUT THE KEY POINT FROM THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WE WERE DRILLED INTO US AND WE LEARNED WAS IT'S NOT FOR STRICT COMPLIANCE, IT'S FOR IT'S A SUGGESTION. IT'S A GUIDELINE TO DEVELOP BY. SO THEN IN 2006, I RAN FOR COUNCIL, GOT ELECTED ON A BASICALLY TWO PREMISES ON MY PLATFORM WERE TO INCREASE EVERYBODY'S PROPERTY VALUES. AND WILEY, BECAUSE I OWN A PIECE OF PROPERTY IN WILEY THAT I'D LIKE TO YIELD BETTER THAN I PAID FOR IT AT THE TIME I SELL IT. AND THEN TO CREATE A CRADLE TO GRAVE COMMUNITY. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE IN WILEY HERE TODAY THAT WERE BORN HERE, STILL HERE, WANT TO DIE HERE. AND IT'S GETTING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO FIND A PLACE TO RESIDE. UNTIL THAT TIME COMES, THEY DIE THAT THEY CAN AFFORD. AND SO I'D LIKE YOU TO IMAGINE GROWING UP LIKE THAT. I MEAN, SOME OF Y'ALL MAYBE HAVE EXPERIENCED IT, MAYBE HAVEN'T YET. BUT PUT YOURSELF IN THESE PEOPLE'S POSITIONS. THEY BUST THEIR BUTT, THEY CREATE SOMETHING. THEY TRY TO HAVE A BUSINESS OR WHATEVER, AND IT COMES TIME TO RETIRE. AND THEY MAY NOT BE AS WELL HEELED AS THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BEEN, BUT THEY WANT TO STAY HERE WHERE THEIR KIDS ARE TEACHING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL OR WHAT HAVE YOU. AND THEY'D LIKE TO HAVE A PLACE THEY CAN AFFORD, AND THAT'S CLEAN AND NEAT AND SECURE. AND THIS, THIS STILL PROVIDES THAT.

SO IT'S THIS, THIS, THIS PROPERTY PALES IN COMPARISON TO MANY AFFORDABLE COMMUNITIES.

WILEY DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A PRODUCT LIKE THIS. AND THESE GUYS THAT ARE DOING THIS, AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE WILEY BUTANE PARK THING THEY DID, THEY DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING TO DO, AND THAT'S RARE. I'VE TALKED TO NUMEROUS PEOPLE INVOLVED WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND VERY FAVORABLE COMMENTS ABOUT IT. IT SERVES A MUCH NEEDED PROBLEM IN HOUSING FOR TEACHERS. MANY METROPOLITAN SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN IN TEXAS ARE HAVING A REAL PROBLEM WITH THAT, AND A LOT OF THEM HAVE RESORTED TO BUYING APARTMENT COMPLEXES TO PUT TEACHERS IN. SO THIS FIXES A PROBLEM. I TALKED TO BRANT BATES, THE GUY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DONUT HOLE HERE. HE HE

[01:15:01]

THINKS THESE GUYS ARE GREAT GUYS. HE'D LIKE HE'D BE WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM AND LIKE THEM.

BILL COLLINS, ANOTHER OLD WILEY FAMILY ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY, ASKED ME WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT IT. HE SAID, WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH IT IF IT WAS NEXT TO YOU? AND I SAID, ABSOLUTELY. HE SAYS THAT I'M IN. IT'S EVER PRESENT PROBLEM. IN WILEY. I'VE TOLD YOU ALL MANY TIMES I'VE COME HERE TO TALK THE PREPONDERANCE OF TAX EXEMPT REAL ESTATE TO TAXABLE REAL ESTATE IS A PROBLEM IN THIS COMMUNITY. IT'S A BURDEN. AND WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING TO EVERY CHANCE WE GET TO OFFSET THAT. THIS DOES THAT RIGHT NOW. IT'S IN AG. IT'S OUT OF THE CITY. I'M ON IT AND I JUST I WANT YOU TO ALWAYS CONSIDER THAT IT'S WE I KNOW YOU RECEIVED MANY LETTERS OR EMAILS AND OPPOSITION PROBABLY FROM BOZEMAN FARMS, BUT I CAN TELL YOU, I SAT UP HERE ON COUNCIL WHEN BOZEMAN WAS UNDER PETITION TO BE DEVELOPED. THEN, TOO, WE GOT THE SAME OPPOSITION TO BOZEMAN FARMS. SO IT'S ONLY FAIR THAT, YOU KNOW, WE LOOK AT THAT WITH A RATIONAL EYE. SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ASK YOU TO CONCLUDE, SIR, I'M WRAPPING IT UP. I JUST ASK Y'ALL TO DO ONE SIMPLE THING. MAKE A DEAL THAT MAKES SENSE. THIS THING, THIS THING IS WORTH DOING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU SIR. THANK. THE OTHER SPEAKERS ARE FOR A LATER ITEM.

JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I DIDN'T MISS ANYTHING THERE. SO I BELIEVE YOU ASKED TO SPEAK ON ITEM FIVE, WHICH IS THEY'RE ALL INTERRELATED ON THIS ONE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME DOWN AND SPEAK ON ITEM THREE AND AMEND, I'D BE OKAY WITH THAT SINCE THEY ARE ALL TIED TOGETHER. ON THE SAME. GOOD EVENING MAYOR. IF YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. BILL HOWARD, 1403 GLENVIEW DRIVE, SAXY I'VE LIVED IN THE WILEY AREA FOR 30 YEARS, SO I LOVE THIS PLACE IN THIS TOWN. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT THING. AND IF IT'S DONE IN ONE WAY AND I'VE TALKED TO READ AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT THIS, BUT WILEY NEEDS A RETIREMENT CENTER THAT'S VERY AFFORDABLE. IF IT'S CLEAN, NEAT, WELL KEPT, DONE EXACTLY THE WAY THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING TO DO, I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING FOR SENIOR CITIZENS. WE HAVE A LOT OF SENIOR CITIZENS IN THIS COMMUNITY THAT THEY WOULD LOVE TO DOWNSIZE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S HARD TO SELL A $600,000 HOME AND MOVE INTO A $500,000 HOME, BECAUSE THAT'S ABOUT WHAT DOWNSIZING IS. AND WILEY, SO THIS REALLY KIND OF HELPS SENIOR CITIZENS. IT GIVES THEM MORE OF A, AN AVENUE TO STAY IN WILEY. BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS IS A GREAT PLACE. AND WE WANT OUR SENIOR CITIZENS TO STAY IN WILEY. SO THAT'S KIND OF MY COMMENT ON THAT FROM MY POINT OF VIEW. YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENT FROM THE SCHOOLS OR ANY PART OF THAT. I'LL LEAVE THAT TO YOU GUYS. BUT I DO THINK THIS WOULD BE A GREAT AVENUE FOR SENIOR DEVELOPMENT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU SIR. AND I DO NOT BELIEVE, MISTER HASKINS, THAT THERE IS A ANY, ANY PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD FALL UNDER THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THAT WOULD BE AGE RESTRICTING TO MAKE IT A SENIOR COMMUNITY. IS THAT CORRECT? NO. THERE'S NOTHING IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT MAKES IT AGE RESTRICTED. ALL RIGHT. WELL I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP. COUNCIL, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. AND IF NOT THEN I'M OPEN TO A MOTION ON THE ITEM. COUNCILMAN STRAIN.

EXCUSE ME. THANK YOU. MAYOR. I MAKE A MOTION TO DENY THE ITEM WITH PREJUDICE. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION TO DENY THE ITEM WITH PREJUDICE. DO WE HAVE? IS THAT. DOES THAT APPLY TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, SIR? YES, SIR. OKAY. JUST MAKING SURE FROM PARLIAMENTARY. DO WE HAVE A SECOND COUNCILMAN DUKE? YES, MR. MAYOR, I SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION TO DENY WITH PREJUDICE.

COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SIX ONE WITH COUNCILMAN FORRESTER AGAINST.

[01:20:01]

VOTED AGAINST AT THIS POINT, I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT ANYBODY MAY HAVE. THIS IS JUST REQUIRED BY STATE LAW BEFORE ANY ANNEXATION COULD TAKE PLACE. OKAY. COUNCIL, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? SO THIS IS SO THIS ONE IS NOT THE PUBLIC HEARING. NO. BUT NEXT ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IT'S ITEM FIVE. BUT WE DID HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL WHO ASKED TO SPEAK ON ITEMS THREE, FOUR AND FIVE. SO I'LL CALL MR. READ BY BOTH FORWARD. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON ITEM FOUR FIRST OKAY I OKAY. SO HE WOULD HE DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK ON ITEM FOUR. COUNCIL BE OPEN TO A MOTION IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. COUNCILMAN. STRANGE THANK YOU MAYOR. I MAKE A MOTION TO DENY THIS AS ALSO WITH PREJUDICE. WE HAVE A MOTION TO DENY WITH PREJUDICE. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? COUNCILMAN DUKE? THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I SECOND SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO DENY THE ITEM AS PRESENTED WITH PREJUDICE. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 1.

COUNCILMAN FORRESTER OR MAYOR PRO TEM, I APOLOGIZE, FORRESTER AGAINST. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE

[5. Hold a public hearing, consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2025-17 authorizing the annexation of a 47.97- acre tract of land out of the A. West Survey, Abstract No. 979 and the J. Shelby Survey, Abstract No. 819, situated in Collin County, which is contiguous and adjacent to the City of Wylie, in Collin County, Texas A2025-01.]

TO ITEM FIVE, WHICH IS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING. CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ORDINANCE NUMBER 20 2517, AUTHORIZING THE ANNEXATION OF A 47.97 ACRE TRACT OF LAND OUT OF THE A WEST SURVEY, ABSTRACT NUMBER 979 AND THE JAY SHELBY SURVEY, ABSTRACT NUMBER 819. SITUATED IN COLLIN COUNTY, WHICH IS CONTIGUOUS AND ADJACENT TO THE CITY OF WILEY IN COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS, A202501 MR. HASKINS, MAYOR, THIS IS A THE ANNEXATION FOR THAT PROPERTY THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED FOR THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. WITHOUT AN ANNEXATION SERVICES AGREEMENT, WE'D BE PRETTY MUCH IN VIOLATION OF STATE LAW, IN MY OPINION, TO ACCEPT THE ANNEXATION. WITH THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. AND THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING? YES. SO, MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU. MAYOR, I DO HAVE A STATEMENT I'D LIKE TO MAKE PRIOR TO MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING, IF YOU'D ENTERTAIN THAT. OF COURSE. SO I THINK THAT THE PROCEEDING THIS EVENING HAS SHOWN A BIAS AGAINST THIS PROJECT. BUT I THINK THE ONE THING THAT WE HAVEN'T CONSIDERED IS THE FACT THAT IF WE WALK AWAY FROM THIS PROJECT WITHOUT HAVING A DISCUSSION OVER THIS PROJECT, THE LANDOWNER CAN NOW GO TO THE COUNTY AND GET THE PROJECT APPROVED. THEIR ONLY REQUIREMENT IS THAT THEY COME UP WITH A WAY TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR SEWER, WHICH IS SEPTIC. SO WE'VE NOW PUT. A DENIAL WITH PREJUDICE ON AN ITEM THAT CAN NO LONGER BE DISCUSSED FOR TWO YEARS ON A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT THESE GENTLEMEN OWN, THAT THEY CAN TURN AROUND AND TAKE TO THE COUNTY AND COME BACK AND DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY'VE ASKED TO DO. THE COUNTY APPROVAL IS DIFFERENT THAN OUR APPROVAL, AND WE'VE JUST SHUNNED TAX DOLLARS ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY AS WELL. SO I JUST THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT THE REASON I VOTED NO ON BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS IS BECAUSE I AGREE THAT A DENIAL MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE RIGHT THING, BUT I DON'T AGREE WITH THE DENIAL OF PREJUDICE. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. FAIR ENOUGH SIR. WITH THAT, IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING. SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME, IF ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IS PRESENT AND WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, I'D ASK THAT YOU DO SO AT THIS TIME. I DID HAVE TWO FORUMS THAT WERE TURNED IN. MR. BY BOTH. DO YOU WISH TO SPEAK? OKAY. MR. BY BOTH. WOULD NOT LIKE TO SPEAK AND I BELIEVE MR. HOWARD LEFT. HE SPOKE ON ITEM THREE. I DON'T OKAY. SO I'LL NOW OPEN IT UP TO THE REST OF THE PUBLIC. IF THERE'S I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THAT IN A MINUTE. IF THERE'S ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO STEP FORWARD AND SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, I ASK THAT YOU INDICATE SO AT THIS TIME. MY NAME IS DAVID ZULEIKA.

I PRESENTED THIS TO BEGIN WITH. I'D JUST LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT SMALL BUSINESSES THIS EVENING AND HOW, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO WILEY WANTS TO SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES. I WAS A SMALL BUSINESS. I WAS AN ELECTRICIAN BY TRADE, NOT A COLLEGE EDUCATED GUY. STARTED DOING REAL ESTATE WHEN I WAS 21 YEARS OLD. I'M 57 YEARS OLD. THE WAY I'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IS I'VE BEEN ABLE TO ADD VALUE AND REALLY TAKE A BUSINESS THAT'S BEEN MISTREATED, HASN'T BEEN THOUGHT OF CORRECTLY, AND JUST RAISED THE STANDARD OF IT. AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE THE SUCCESS OF MY BUSINESS HAS COME FROM, IS RAISING THE STANDARD OF A BUSINESS THAT PEOPLE HAVE A STIGMA ABOUT. WE'VE BEAT THAT STIGMA IN SEVEN OTHER CITIES, SIX OTHER CITIES. THAT'S BECOMING A NATIONAL THING FEDERALLY. IT'S BEING RECOGNIZED. THIS IS NOT YOUR

[01:25:02]

AVERAGE TRAILER PARK. THIS ISN'T 2.5IN WALLS. THIS ISN'T SOMETHING SMALL. THIS IS A REGULAR, REGULAR RESIDENTIAL HOME THAT'S GOING INTO A COMMUNITY THAT'S PRIVATE. I'M SORRY, PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED, AND WILL ADD HOUSING TO THIS WHOLE CITY. THIS ISN'T A SMALL INVESTMENT. THIS ISN'T WHERE WHERE I JUST GO AND BRING IN OTHER INVESTORS AND BRING THEM INTO IT. THIS IS A $55 MILLION INVESTMENT BETWEEN ME AND A BANK. THIS IS PUTTING MY MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH IS. THIS IS TAKING HARD WORK AND SWEAT THAT I'VE PROVEN THIS ISN'T JUST A NEW CONCEPT, SOMETHING THAT I'VE PROVEN THROUGH THE METROPLEX. I WOULD MAKE THE REQUEST THAT YOU DO SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES. THIS IS A SMALL BUSINESS. THIS IS AN ADDITION TO WILEY. IT'S NOT A TAKEAWAY. THIS HORSE THAT'S HERE AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY IS VERY ODD. SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE IT BECOMES. I'M NOT SURE IF IT BECOMES AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.

DO WE REALLY WANT THAT I MEAN, THAT DOESN'T GIVE ANY HOME OWNERSHIP. WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT IT TO BE? INDUSTRIAL. THAT DOESN'T REALLY HELP. WE'RE BUILDING A $2 MILLION ROAD CALLED ALANIZ THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF IT. WHY WOULD WE WANT TO TURN DOWN A $2 MILLION ROAD? YOU ARE NOT PAYING FOR IT. I'M PAYING FOR IT MYSELF. I WOULD PLEASE ASK. AND I'D ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.

THAT YOU RECONSIDER THE VOTE THAT YOU MADE. I KNOW WITH PREJUDICE YOU DON'T LIKE THE PROJECT. AGAIN, I WOULD ASK THAT YOU AND I HAD SENT EMAILS TO YOU THAT YOU WOULD TAKE A STEP BACK AND REALLY LOOK AT THIS PROJECT, BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN AN ADDITION TO LITTLE ELM. IT'S BEEN AN ADDITION TO SHERMAN. IT'S BEEN AN ADDITION TO TYLER, ALL THE CITIES THAT WE'VE BEEN INTO, FORT WORTH, DALLAS, IT'S AN ADDITION TO IT'S NOT A TAKEAWAY. I'D ASK THAT BOTH OF YOU WOULD RECONSIDER, AND I'D ASK EVERYBODY THAT I'D GET YOUR VOTE, BECAUSE THIS IS SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESS. IT IS ADDING TO HOUSING. AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK THE CITY OF WILEY WILL BENEFIT FROM. THANK YOU. OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS COUNCIL ON THIS ITEM DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING? YES, I BELIEVE SO. THANK YOU. MICHAEL LAMPING I LIVE AT 703 RIVA RIDGE. IT'S A WILEY, TEXAS ZIP CODE, BUT IT'S IN ETJ. AND IT IT BECAME A THING TO HAVE THESE ETJ FOR DEVELOPMENT. SO. I THANK YOU FOR THE TIME TO COME AND SPEAK BEFORE YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL. BUT, YOU KNOW, I HEARD ABOUT THIS PROJECT TONIGHT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD OF IT. AND I THOUGHT ABOUT IT WHEN I WAS PRESENTED THAT THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF COMMUNITY THAT I HAVE. I HAVE A BUSINESS HERE IN WILEY, AND I HAVE EMPLOYEES THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM HAVING AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THIS WOULD BE AN ENTRY LEVEL HAD EMPLOYEES WHO LIVED IN PRETTY MEAGER TRAILER PARK HOUSING, AND THIS WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO GET INTO SOMETHING MUCH MORE SUBSTANTIAL. I HAVE A LOT OF CLIENTS THAT LIVE BY, YOU KNOW, PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK IS OR I MEAN FIXED INCOME. EXCUSE ME, BUT, YOU KNOW, SENIORS WHO NEED PET CARE, THEY COULD BENEFIT FROM STAYING IN WILEY WITH RISING COST OF HOMEOWNERSHIP.

BUT I AGREE WITH MAYOR PRO TEM THAT THERE'S A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE THAT SOMETHING, SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD GO FORWARD AND BE OUTSIDE OF YOUR CONTROL IN THAT THE COUNTY COULD APPROVE THIS. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU SIR. OKAY. IF YOU'LL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. WHITNEY MCDOUGALL, 1616 TRAIL SIDE ROAD, WYLIE, TEXAS. I HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS PROJECT OTHER THAN A SIMPLE NOTICE ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD FACEBOOK PAGE.

I'M IN BOZEMAN FARMS. I CAN START THE TIMER OR I'LL GET EXTRA TIME. OKAY. A NEIGHBORHOOD FACEBOOK PAGE BOZEMAN FARMS. INITIALLY I THOUGHT, OH, THIS IS NOT A GREAT IDEA BECAUSE IT WAS CLASSIFIED AS A TRAILER PARK. CLEARLY, ON THE PRESENTATION, IT'S NOT. THIS DOESN'T AFFECT MY PROPERTY. I AM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT I THINK IT'S PRETTY CLEAR FROM THE COUNCIL'S REACTION HOW DESPERATELY YOU DON'T WANT THIS FOR WHATEVER REASON. I DO THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE RECONSIDERED. I UNDERSTAND WHAT PREJUDICE MEANS, BUT I DO THINK THAT CONSIDERING THE POSITIVE IMPLICATIONS OF WHAT THIS COULD BE AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS

[01:30:05]

NOTHING LIKE THIS IN THE CITY WHATSOEVER, AND AS A PART OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND SEEING WHAT COULD BE IN THE CITY, I THINK YOU'RE TAKING AWAY A LOT. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK THIS EVENING? YES, MA'AM. JULIE FORRESTER 2906 KATY CIRCLE AND WYLIE. I READ THE PAPER AND I SAW, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS FACEBOOK OR WHATEVER ABOUT THE PROJECT, SEEING THE PRESENTATION. THE PICTURES ARE GREAT AND I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, THAT OTHER COMMUNITIES ENJOY IT. I'M NOT OPPOSED TO IT BECAUSE THE PRESENTATION WAS GREAT. YOU SAY AFFORDABLE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY AFFORDABLE? AFFORDABLE TO ONE PERSON DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN IT'S AFFORDABLE TO SOMEBODY ELSE. I DIDN'T SEE ANY LIKE MONTHLY AMOUNTS OR HOA FEES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT EXPLAINED. SO I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER AS WELL BEFORE EVERYBODY JUMPS ON THE BANDWAGON. THANK YOU. OKAY.

THANK YOU. WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK THIS EVENING. OKAY. MISS STORM, PLEASE LET THE RECORD REFLECT. NO ONE ELSE HAS STEPPED FORWARD TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME. SO WITH THAT, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AS MR. HASKINS INTIMATED, WE DID. WE DENIED THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT OR SERVICES AGREEMENT. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH ANNEXATION, AS YOU STATED UNDER STATE LAW. WITH THAT BEING THE DECISION, I WILL OPEN IT UP TO A MOTION TO COUNCIL AT THIS TIME. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, I WANTED TO SAY ONE THING, MAYOR, WE JUST HAD TO CLARIFY WITH MR. HASKINS. SO WE DON'T NEED TO NECESSARILY DENY THE ANNEXATION WITH PREJUDICE, DO WE? NO, SIR.

OKAY. JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WITH WHAT HAPPENED, THAT THAT DIDN'T PRECLUDE THEM FROM BRINGING A DIFFERENT PROJECT BACK AND GETTING IT ANNEXED IN POSSIBLY. RIGHT? YES. OKAY. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IN THAT CASE, I'D MAKE A MOTION IF NO ONE'S. MAYOR. CAN WE TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK ON THIS? WE HAVE WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE. I HAVEN'T SPOKEN YET. IF YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT, YOU CAN. HE NEEDS TO RETRACT HIS MOTION. BUT HE'D HAVE TO RETRACT BECAUSE HE SPOKE AND MADE A MOTION TO DENY. RETRACT IF YOU'LL COME BACK TO ME, I CAN. IF YOU HAVE A COMMENT YOU'D LIKE TO ADD. COUNCILMAN, NO, I DON'T. GO AHEAD. OKAY, THEN. I'LL PUT IT BACK TO YOU THEN. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DENY THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ANNEXATION. DENY THE ITEM NUMBER FIVE. CORRECT. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO DENY. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? COUNCILMAN STRING? I'LL SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND TO DENY. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. THE ANNEXATION IS DENIED. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM SIX, WHICH IS TO HOLD A

[6. Hold a public hearing, consider, and act upon, Resolution No. 2025-10(R) consenting to the inclusion of the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction within the boundaries of the proposed Collin County Emergency Services District No. 1, in response to a petition for the creation of Collin County Emergency Services District No. 1 pursuant to Chapter 775 of the Texas Health and Safety Code.]

PUBLIC HEARING. CONSIDER AND ACT UPON RESOLUTION NUMBER 2025. DASH TEN ARE CONSENTING TO THE INCLUSION OF THE CITY'S EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPOSED COLLIN COUNTY EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT NUMBER ONE, IN RESPONSE TO A PETITION FOR THE CREATION OF COLLIN COUNTY EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT NUMBER ONE, PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 775 OF THE TEXAS HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE. CHIEF BLYTHE. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL, THE ITEM BEFORE YOU AND I'M GOING TO TALK BOTH ABOUT THE ESD AND THE AND THE ETJ, BECAUSE THEY KIND OF GO HAND IN HAND DURING THIS CONVERSATION. BUT THE ITEM BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS FOR THE CITY TO ALLOW THE ETJ THE CITY OF WILEY'S ETJ, TO BE INCLUDED IN THE EMERGENCY SERVICE DISTRICT ONE THAT'S BEING PROPOSED IN COLLIN COUNTY. SO COLLIN COUNTY RECEIVED A PETITION FROM FROM THE CITIZENS OF COLLIN COUNTY BACK IN FEBRUARY. IT WAS FILED ON FEBRUARY 20TH. THE PETITION WAS FOR TO START AN ESD IN THE COUNTY IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF COLLIN COUNTY, AND WHAT THAT IS AN EMERGENCY SERVICE DISTRICT. THE WAY THE PETITION WAS WRITTEN IS FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES, NOT JUST FIRE PROTECTION, BUT ANY EMERGENCY SERVICES THAT THAT FALL UNDER 775 THAT ARE REGULATED UNDER THAT. AND WHAT THAT WHAT THAT ALLOWS US TO DO IS CREATE A DIFFERENT FUNDING MECHANISM THAT THE COUNTY CAN PAY FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES WITH. THAT'S UP TO $0.10 FOR CITIZENS OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. AND IN 775 IT WILL.

IT ALLOWS FOR THE CITIES TO REGULATE WHETHER OR NOT THEIR ETJ ARE PART OF THAT, PART OF

[01:35:04]

THOSE BOUNDARIES. YOU CAN EITHER EXCLUDE THEM WITHIN 60 DAYS, WHICH THE 60 DAYS THAT THE DATE WE'RE USING IS THIS FRIDAY THE 25TH. OR YOU CAN ALLOW THEM TO GO INTO THE ETJ AND THOSE RESIDENTS WHICH ARE OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. THEY'RE NOT CITY, THEY'RE NOT CITY OF WILEY RESIDENTS, BUT THEY DO PAY COUNTY TAXES. THEY CAN BE CHARGED THE ESD TAX FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES. AND SO WHENEVER WE WHENEVER WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH THIS, AND I'M NO EXPERT, BUT I HAVE TRIED TO EDUCATE MYSELF, THE TWO BIGGEST CONCERNS I HAD AS LOOKING INTO TO EXCLUDING OR INCLUDING OUR ETJ IS IF THE IF THE EMERGENCY SERVICE DISTRICT ISSUES DEBT AND OR THEY THEY ALLOW FOR SALES TAX TO BE INCLUDED, THEY CAN THEY CAN DO 2% OF THE SALES TAX, WHICH IS NOT BEING DISCUSSED AT THIS POINT. IF THE COUNTY WERE TO DO THAT AND THERE WAS DEBT ISSUED BY THE ESD, THEN THE CITY WOULD POTENTIALLY HAVE TO PAY FOR PRO-RATA THAT THAT MONEY BACK. IF WE WERE TO ANNEX PROPERTY. NOW FROM TALKING TO SEVERAL PEOPLE, SEVERAL ESD CHIEFS, THAT'S A RELATIVELY SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY, AND IT'S USUALLY NEGOTIATED AT THE TIME OF ANNEXATION, BUT THE ESD WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE WHOLE FOR THAT PARTICULAR FOR THAT PARTICULAR DEBT THAT THEY HAVE NOW. THE COUNTY COLLIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT ADOPTED SOME ARTICLES OF RESOLUTION. AND THOSE ARTICLES, NUMBER ONE IS THEY WANT TO CONTINUE THE CURRENT SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH EXISTING FIRE DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE ALREADY IN PLACE. BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS WOULD CREATE MORE MONEY IN THE COUNTY'S BUDGET. RIGHT NOW, THE COUNTY BUDGET'S ABOUT $1 MILLION A YEAR FOR FIRE PROTECTION. THERE'S 23 FIRE DEPARTMENTS IN THE COUNTY, AND THEY THEY SPLIT THAT UP AMONGST THOSE FIRE DEPARTMENTS. NOW, AS IT STANDS TODAY, THERE'S BEEN NO DISCUSSION OF HOW THAT MONEY IS GOING TO BE DISTRIBUTED OR HOW THAT MONEY IS GOING TO GO TO EACH CITY FOR THOSE ADDITIONAL SERVICES. IT'S JUST REALLY MOVING THE MONEY FROM THE GENERAL FUND CURRENTLY TO THIS NEW FUNDING MECHANISM. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY.

THERE'LL BE A PUBLIC HEARING IN JULY. AND THEN SHOULD IT, SHOULD IT PASS THROUGH THE COMMISSIONERS COURT AT THAT POINT IT WOULD GO TO THE VOTERS IN NOVEMBER. AND IF IT PASSED, THEN THERE WOULD BE A GAP YEAR THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE WORKED THROUGH WITH THE COUNTY, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY MONEY FOR THAT FIRST YEAR. AND DURING THAT GAP YEAR, WE WOULD WE WOULD PROBABLY CONTINUE OUR SERVICE JUST LIKE WE DO TODAY. SO THAT THAT'S KIND OF THE HIGH LEVEL. I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT WE DID REACH OUT THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND NEXT DOOR AND SOME OTHER THINGS TO OUR TO OUR COUNTY RESIDENTS TO TELL THEM ABOUT THIS MEETING TONIGHT, BECAUSE WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY HAD THE FACTS.

THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF OUT, A LOT OF INFORMATION, AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT COUNCIL IS AWARE WE SENT THAT OUT. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY COUNTY RESIDENTS HERE, BUT THE COUNCIL OR THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HAVE NOT. THEY HAVE NOT INDICATED THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE SERVICE AND CREATE THEIR OWN FIRE DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE THAT IS AN OPTION. HOWEVER, ONCE ONCE THE ESD IS ESTABLISHED, SHOULD IT PASS IN NOVEMBER, THE COUNCIL WILL. I'M SORRY, THE COMMISSIONERS COURT WILL APPROVE OR APPOINT FIVE FIVE BOARD MEMBERS, AND THOSE BOARD MEMBERS WOULD ULTIMATELY MAKE THAT WOULD MAKE THAT DECISION. BUT IN THEIR ADOPTED PRINCIPLES THAT THEY ALL AGREED ON THAT THAT'S NOT THE ROUTE THEY WANT TO GO. SO I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR PROVIDING MORE INFORMATION THAT YOU MAY NEED. OKAY. MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU. MAYOR. SO, CHIEF, YOU TALKED AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR CONVERSATION THIS EVENING ABOUT THE ASD AND THE WAY THAT IT AFFECTS OUR ETJ. RIGHT. SO IF WE DECIDED THAT WE WERE GOING TO TAKE OUR ETJ INTO OUR COVERAGE AREA, WOULD THAT EXCLUDE THEM FROM THE ESD AND PROTECT THEM FROM TAXATION ON AN ESD BASIS? NUMBER ONE. AND NUMBER TWO, WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE TO US? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE ALREADY AND OUR FIRE SYSTEM, EXCUSE ME, AND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT BOTH RESPONDING TO THE ETJ CORRECT. AND EVEN INTO THE COUNTY. AND WE'RE DOING THAT AT ZERO FEE TO THE COUNTY. WE DO GET SOME MONEY TO THE NOT ENOUGH TO COVER WHAT YOU DO IN THE. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. YES. AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET ENOUGH FOR WHAT YOU DO IN THE COUNTY IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. WELL, WE DON'T KNOW THAT. HOWEVER, THE NUMBERS THAT I'VE HEARD FROM THE COMMISSIONERS COURT ARE $0.05, SEVEN AND A HALF CENTS, UP TO $0.10. THERE'S BEEN NO DISCUSSION ABOUT ABOUT DOING THE SALES TAX, BUT $0.05 GENERATES ABOUT $11 MILLION A YEAR COUNTYWIDE. AND AGAIN, THAT'S GOT TO BE REDISTRIBUTED. AND THAT'S WHAT WE DON'T KNOW YET.

SO WOULD IT BE WHAT WE DO TODAY? YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD THAT I'D REALLY LIKE TO GET

[01:40:05]

SOME INFORMATION FROM COUNCIL IS WHAT IS YOUR EXPECTATIONS? THE ONLY THING WE'VE HEARD ABOUT IN THE PAST IS FROM INSPIRATION. AND THAT SERVICE AGREEMENT IS, HEY, THEY NEED TO CHARGE, THEY NEED TO PAY THE SAME AS A CITY WYLIE RESIDENT. AND THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'VE MOVED FORWARD WITH. SO WOULD WE BE ABLE TO WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET A LOT CLOSER THAN WE ARE TODAY. RIGHT NOW, IT COST US ABOUT $2,200 TO DISPATCH A CALL, AND THE COUNTY'S PAYING US ABOUT 200, ABOUT $60,000 A YEAR. AND SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU JUST TAKE OUR TOTAL BUDGET, A LITTLE BIT OF THE DISPATCH BUDGET, A PERCENTAGE OF THAT, AND DIVIDE IT BY OUR TOTAL NUMBER OF CALLS, THAT'S WHERE WE GET THAT NUMBER. SO I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE THAT WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO RECOUP EVERYTHING, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE A LOT MORE EQUITABLE THAN IT IS TODAY. SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT $11 MILLION. THAT'S THE COUNTY WOULD COLLECT APPROXIMATELY $11 MILLION ON NICOLE. THE ESD WOULD COLLECT WOULD COLLECT $0.05, AND THEN THE ESD WOULD CONTRACT WITH OTHER CITIES. THE 23 CITIES THAT ARE THAT ARE UNDER THE CURRENT. SO WE'RE GOING TO CREATE ANOTHER GOVERNMENT ENTITY WHO'S GOING TO REQUIRE AN OFFICE, WHO'S GOING TO REQUIRE A DESK, WHO'S GOING TO REQUIRE PEOPLE? WHO'S GOING TO REQUIRE EQUIPMENT? EACH ONE OF THEM IS GOING TO REQUIRE A CAR. SO WHATEVER WE CREATE AT THE COUNTY LEVEL, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AN $11 MILLION HIT RIGHT INTO THE POCKET OF OUR FIRE DEPARTMENTS. IT'S MY CONCERN, RIGHT, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE OVERHEAD THAT COMES WITH ANOTHER BUREAUCRATIC INSTITUTION. YEAH, I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR, THOUGH, THEIR STATEMENT OF SHARED PRINCIPLES, ONE OF THOSE ADDRESSES JUST THAT THE DISTRICT SHOULD MINIMIZE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS TO ENSURE GREATER INVESTMENT IN FIRE DEPARTMENT EMERGENCY SERVICES. SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE GOING TO DO THAT. BUT I HAVE HEARD AND SOME OF THE MEETINGS THAT WE'VE ATTENDED THAT THEY PLAN TO USE CURRENT STAFF WITHIN THE COUNTY. AND AGAIN, THIS COULD CHANGE, BUT IT'S JUST THE TALK THAT WE'VE HEARD THAT THEY'RE GOING TO USE CURRENT STAFF, AND THEN THE ESD WOULD ESSENTIALLY CONTRACT OR PAY A PORTION OF THAT THAT EMPLOYEE SERVICES. SO THE GOAL IS FROM THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER FROM THE FROM THE FIRST MEETING WE WENT TO AND THE COMMISSIONERS COURT MET, THEIR GOAL WAS TO MINIMIZE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, GET MORE MONEY TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS. AND THEY THEY THEY DID THAT BY ADOPTING THESE SHARED PRINCIPLES. NOW, AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE COUNTY. THESE ISDS ARE NOT NEW. THERE'S 350 PLUS IN THE STATE. THEY'RE JUST NEW TO OUR AREA. AND SO IT'S YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO POTENTIALLY GET MORE MONEY. THE COUNTY COULD PAY BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE PETITION IS WRITTEN. THEY CAN PAY FOR POTENTIALLY THE AMBULANCE SERVICE. THEY CAN PAY FOR POTENTIALLY PART OF DISPATCH. 775 LAYS OUT THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE COULD BE PAID FOR. I DON'T THINK THEY'RE LOOKING AT THAT, BUT THERE'S SOME OTHER EMERGENCY SERVICES THAT THEY COULD PAY FOR THAT WOULD TAKE THAT OFF THE TOP. THE MOST RECENT MEETING THAT WAS HAD UP IN FARMERSVILLE, CHIEF RITTER ATTENDED. I WAS OUT OF TOWN, BUT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT SEVEN AND A HALF CENTS, WHICH GENERATES ABOUT 18 MILLION FOR THE FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY. SO THERE'S A LOT OF OPTIONS. THERE'S STILL A LOT OF THINGS OUT TO YOUR POINT ABOUT IF WE OPT IN OR OPT OUT, THERE'S REALLY THREE OPTIONS WE CAN OPT OUT SEVEN, SEVEN, FIVE SPELLS OUT WHAT THE COUNTY RESIDENTS COULD DO. THEY COULD PETITION THE CITY AND HAVE A HAVE A VOTE TO BASICALLY GET IT OPTED IN AND OVERRULE THE CITY. WE COULD WE COULD DO NOTHING, NOT ALLOW THEM IN AND KEEP COVERING LIKE WE DO TODAY AND GET ZERO MONEY FOR IT.

OR WE COULD WE COULD OPT THEM OUT AND SAY, HEY, WE'RE NOT COVERING IT ANYMORE. YOU'RE NOT INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. WE OUR ETJ IS A RELATIVELY SMALL PART, ABOUT 3000 ACRES WITH A IT'S ABOUT 5000 ACRES, BUT 3000 AROUND WYLIE AND A COUPLE OF THOUSAND WAY UP NORTH, UP OFF 78 THAT I THINK WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF MAYBE RELEASING EVENTUALLY. ANYWAY, SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A VERY BROKE UP, AND I HAVE A MAP THAT WE CREATED, IF YOU ALL WANT TO SEE THAT. BUT IT'S ABOUT IT'S ABOUT THREE, IT'S ABOUT 3348 ACRES, THE BEST WE CAN TELL USING COUNTY GIS DATA. BUT IT HAS A IT HAS A VALUE OF JUST UNDER $1 BILLION. AND OF COURSE, A LOT OF THAT'S INSPIRATION. AND SOME OF THE OTHER HOUSING NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE IN AND AROUND WYLIE THAT ARE SERVED BY US. SO HOW WILL THAT AFFECT THE CONTRACT WITH INSPIRATION, THE COUNTY? WHAT HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT OUR CONTRACT FOR SERVICES WITH INSPIRATION. SO ONE THING THAT THE WELL AND THAT'S THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA TO REASSIGN THAT. BUT AS IT STANDS TODAY, THE WAY THE WAY WE SEE IT WORKING IS THE DIRECTION FROM OUR COUNCIL HAS BEEN INSPIRATION. RESIDENTS PAY THE SAME CITY WYLIE PLUS 10%. THE WAY WE SEE THAT WORKING IN THE FUTURE IS WHATEVER THE ESD PAID US FOR THAT SERVICE WOULD OFFSET WHAT INSPIRATION'S PAYING US, AND THEY WOULD JUST MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE. THERE'S A BIG THERE'S A BIG. ONE OF THEIR OTHER THINGS IS THEY THEY DON'T WANT TO CREATE A AN OPPORTUNITY

[01:45:04]

FOR DOUBLE TAXATION. SO I WOULD THINK WE WOULD WE WOULD BACK DOWN OUR AMOUNT THAT INSPIRATION PAYS US AND IT WOULD EQUAL THE SAME AMOUNT AT THE END OF THE YEAR, BUT PART OF IT WOULD BE PAID BY THE ESD AND PART OF IT WOULD BE PAID BY INSPIRATION. SO WHEN WE TALKED LAST YEAR ABOUT THE EMS SERVICE AND BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT EMS SERVICE, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE WERE DOING IN A GROUP TO THE CITIES AROUND US, LAVON, ETC. YES, SIR. HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT SOMETHING LIKE THAT MOVING FORWARD? I DON'T THINK IT WILL. I'M SPEAKING ON WHAT I KNOW TODAY. I DON'T THINK IT WILL AFFECT IT AT ALL. AND HERE'S WHY. THE COUNTY'S ALREADY PAYING THEIR PERCENTAGE OF UTILIZATION FOR OUR EMS SYSTEM. WE'RE ONE OF THE FEW THAT HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY LIKE THAT. I THINK THAT MORE CITIES AND MORE EMS SERVICES WILL GET THAT MOVING FORWARD, BUT I DON'T THINK OUR SERVICE DELIVERY AREA OR FIRE DISTRICT WILL CHANGE. AND WHEN I SAY ESD, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A PRETTY SMALL PORTION OUTSIDE, BUT THERE'S ALSO COLLIN COUNTY, UNINCORPORATED AREAS THAT RESPOND TO. HOWEVER, WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF ESD OR I'M SORRY, OF ETJ LEFT. THAT'S THAT'S IN THE COUNTY. THAT'S NOT MOST OF OUR COUNTY LAND IS ETJ.

AND SO I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD CHANGE. THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING. INSTEAD OF NEGOTIATING WITH THE COUNTY FIRE MARSHAL AND THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, THAT THOSE NEGOTIATIONS WOULD NOW TAKE PLACE WITH THE ESD. I THINK THE PRICING MODEL THAT WE PRESENTED TO Y'ALL LAST YEAR, YOU APPROVED AND THAT WE USE FOR UTILIZATION OF OUR EMS SERVICES WORKS WELL. IN FACT, WE WOULD PROBABLY PROPOSE THAT IN SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR IN THE FIRE. AND THE FIRE AGREEMENT THAT WE WOULD HAVE WITH THEM. BUT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD CHANGE OUR OVERALL APPROACH TO SERVING THE CITIZENS IN AND AROUND WYLIE. OKAY. ONE OTHER QUESTION ON THE ESD, THE ESD BOARD THAT WILL BE FORMED BY THE COUNTY, WHO WOULD BE THE SEAT SEATED INDIVIDUALS ON THAT BOARD, WOULD IT BE MADE UP OF CURRENTLY ELECTED OFFICIALS, OR WOULD BE MADE UP OF APPOINTMENTS BY THE COMMISSIONERS COURT? SO I'M GOING TO ADDRESS SOMETHING THAT WAS SAID EARLY ON, AND THAT WAS THAT THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT WANTED TO GET THEMSELVES A PLACE THEMSELVES ON THE BOARD.

THAT IS NOT THAT WAS THAT WAS EARLY ON, ONE OF THE FIRST MEETINGS THAT WE EVER TALKED ABOUT. THAT'S NOT LEGAL. WE'VE WE'VE TALKED TO A LOT OF ESD ATTORNEYS AND A LOT OF ESD FIRE CHIEFS. THEY WERE THEY THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION EARLY ON ABOUT JUST TO GET THIS SET UP AND GET IT HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, THAT'S WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO. SO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SEVEN, SEVEN, FIVE SPELLS THAT OUT VERY CLEARLY. AND THAT IS THAT THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR APPOINTING A FIVE PERSON BOARD. THAT BOARD MANAGES THE ESD AND THEIR TWO YEAR TERMS. AND SO I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE CURRENT ELECTED OFFICIALS. I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE. I DON'T THINK IT WOULD WOULD PASS UNDER SEVEN, SEVEN, FIVE. I DON'T THINK AN A, AN EXEMPTION WOULD BE GRANTED. THAT WAS THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT EARLY ON. AND FROM THE PEOPLE THAT I'VE TALKED TO, THAT'S THAT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. SO IT WOULD BE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CHOICE. I HAVE HEARD THEM SAY THEY WOULD THEY WOULD APPOINT ONE EACH. ONE THING THE COLLIN COUNTY FIRE CHIEFS ARE ASKING FOR IS, HEY, WE WOULD LIKE SOME INPUT ON ON AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE BECAUSE THE CITIES ARE THE ONES PROVIDING THOSE. AND SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THEY GRANT THAT WISH OR NOT, THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS WITH THEM. BUT YOU KNOW THAT I THINK THAT THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, IF PASSED, WOULD ESTABLISH A BOARD AND THEY WOULD APPOINT APPOINT THE INITIAL MEMBERS FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS, AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ELECTED OFFICIALS. SO IT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAT THEY WOULD PLACE ANYWAY. RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. AND I HAVE ONE FINAL COMMENT. WE DO HAVE SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN OUR ETJ HERE THIS EVENING, AND THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO COMMENT ON THAT, I'D BET. SURE. ASK QUESTIONS AND WE'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY.

THAT'S IT. THANK YOU MAYOR. COUNCILMAN MALIKI, THANK YOU MAYOR. WELL, I THINK MAYOR PRO TEM ASKED MOST OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAD IN MIND, AND HE DID A GOOD JOB WITH THAT. BUT I GUESS A COUPLE OF THINGS. FIRST, I THINK I SEE THIS AS A GREAT THING FINALLY, YOU KNOW, MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT BIGGER BUDGET TO MAKE UP SOME OF THE LOSSES THAT WE'RE HAVING ON ON THAT END, TOO. I DO NOT I DO AGREE THAT WE WILL ALWAYS PROVIDE OUR SERVICES TO FOLKS THAT ARE IN ETJ, BECAUSE PART OF THAT ETJ PART OF THOSE ROADS, PART OF THOSE ISSUES THAT HAPPEN IN OUR IN, IN THOSE AREAS ARE CITIZENS THAT LIVE IN WHILE THEY ARE PASSING BY OR GOING THROUGH, NOT JUST NECESSARILY THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THIS AREA. SO WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. I DO AGREE THAT WHATEVER CONTRACTS WE HAVE, WE SUBSIDIZE THEM WITH WHAT WE GET FROM COUNTY, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE KEEP THEM AT WHERE THEY ARE. AND I KNOW YOU GUYS DO A GREAT JOB. I DO SHARE THE SAME CONCERNS AS MAYOR PRO TEM ON A COUPLE OF THINGS. ONE IS I DO NOT WANT TO CREATE ANOTHER ENTITY AND ADD MORE STAFF AND MORE PEOPLE, I GUESS. HOW DOES IT WORK CURRENTLY? THE WAY THAT THEY DISTRIBUTE THE FUNDING TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE COLLIN COUNTY? DO

[01:50:04]

THEY HAVE A STAFF CURRENTLY? IS THAT STAFF SMALLER? WHY WOULD THE STAFF GET BIGGER? BECAUSE, I MEAN, NOTHING CHANGES BESIDES THE MATHEMATICS OF HOW MUCH MONEY EACH CITY IS GETTING.

YEAH, I THINK I THINK THE BIG THING IS CURRENTLY IT'S MANAGED BY THE COUNTY FIRE MARSHAL, AND THEN IT'S MANAGED THROUGH PURCHASING AND THROUGH THE COUNTY'S LEGAL TEAM AND THROUGH THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S OFFICE. AND SO EVERY YEAR, THE COUNTY OR I'M SORRY, THE COUNTY FIRE MARSHAL MEETS WITH US. HE TELLS US, HEY, THIS IS THIS IS HOW IT'S GOING TO BREAK UP THIS YEAR. SOME CITIES, SOME CITIES ANNEX ANNEX PIECES OF PROPERTY. SO THAT'S NO LONGER IN THE COUNTY. SO THAT COMES OFF THEIR THEIR COVERAGE AREA. AND THEN IT'S MANAGED JUST LIKE ANY OTHER CONTRACT THROUGH THROUGH THE COUNTY. I THINK WHERE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS COME UP ON AN ESD IS IN A LOT OF CITIES, OR, I'M SORRY, IN A LOT OF COUNTIES AND A LOT OF AREAS OF TEXAS, AN ESD BECOMES A STANDALONE ORGANIZATION. THAT'S THAT'S A FIVE PERSON MEMBER THAT HAS A BRICK AND BRICK AND MORTAR FIRE DEPARTMENT. IN SOME CASES, THEY GO IN AND TAKE OVER THE WHOLE COUNTY'S FIRE SERVICE. PROBABLY THE CLOSEST EXAMPLE OF THAT IS PARKER COUNTY, WHERE THEY'VE CREATED AN ESD THAT PROVIDES NOT ONLY FIRE PROTECTION TO THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS, BUT SEVERAL CITIES, SPRING TOWNS, PROBABLY THE BIGGEST, AND THEY PROVIDE FIRE PROTECTION THROUGH THAT ESD SERVICE. AND SO WHEN YOU HAVE THAT, YOU HAVE A YOU HAVE A HIERARCHY AND A MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE, JUST LIKE JUST LIKE OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT DOES, BECAUSE THEY DON'T BELONG TO THE CITY, THEY DON'T BELONG TO THE COUNTY, THEY BELONG TO THAT BOARD. AND SO HUMAN RESOURCES PURCHASING ALL OF THOSE THINGS FALL UNDER THAT ESD THE WAY OUR COUNTY'S PROPOSING TO DO IT. THEY DON'T WANT TO GET INTO BRICK AND MORTAR FIRE DEPARTMENT BUSINESS. THEY WANT TO CONTRACT WITH EXISTING. I DO THINK IT WOULD BE PRETTY BENEFICIAL. AND IF IT WAS ONE EMPLOYEE THAT MANAGED 23 CONTRACTS AND WAS A LIAISON FOR THE FIRE CHIEF FOR ALL THE FIRE CHIEFS, THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE PRETTY BENEFICIAL, WHETHER THAT WAS A CURRENT COUNTY EMPLOYEE OR NOT, WE WOULD HAVE NO INPUT IN THAT. BUT US HAVING A POINT OF CONTACT THAT ALLOWED US TO TALK TO THEM AND NEGOTIATE THESE CONTRACTS WOULD PROBABLY BE VERY BENEFICIAL FOR ALL INVOLVED.

YEAH, AND I AGREE WITH THAT. I THINK THE BETTER COMMUNICATION AND UNDERSTANDING FROM THEIR STANDPOINT, COUNTY STANDPOINT AND OUR AND ALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS, BUT SPECIFICALLY FOR OURS TO HAVE THAT EASY COMMUNICATION, I THINK IS BENEFICIAL TO EVERYBODY INVOLVED. I DO WANT I GUESS THAT WOULD BE MY OPINION, THAT I DO WANT TO BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT HOW MUCH, BECAUSE IT STARTS IN SOMETHING, AND THEN BY THE TIME WE GET OUR PART, IT'S THIS MUCH COMPARED TO WHAT REALLY IT'S COMING OUT OF THE BUDGET. AND SO I DO, FROM MY STANDPOINT AT LEAST. AND YOU ASKED WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE. WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE IS THAT TO BE THE VERY, VERY MINIMUM PART OF IT. I DO AGREE THAT WE SHOULD CONTINUE OPT IN ON THIS IN THIS THING AND WORK WITH IN IN THIS PRESENTATION, AND MAKE SURE THAT WE WORK WITH THE COUNTY TO SERVICE OUR ETJ OR ETJ FOLKS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE A PART OF IT. THAT'S JUST MY PART. AND I GET IT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH TO. I KNOW BRANT IS GOING TO COME OUT AND SAY, WE DON'T CONTROL THAT HOW MUCH MONEY THEY SPEND. BUT SURE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU RELAY THAT MESSAGE, I THINK THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT. YEAH. OKAY. GO AHEAD. THANK YOU. WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M GOING TO SAY? WE DON'T CONTROL HOW MUCH THEY'RE GOING TO PAY OR WHO THEY'RE GOING TO HIRE. NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY AT ALL. WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY IS. AND I YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT Y'ALL ARE THINKING ANYWAY FOR ANY OF IT, WHETHER TO APPROVE IT, TO LEAVE THE ETJ IN OR NOT. BUT BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE ONE THING I'VE ALWAYS APPRECIATED ABOUT THIS COUNCIL AND PREVIOUS COUNCILS IS. WE TREAT OUR COUNTY RESIDENTS JUST LIKE WE TREAT OUR CITY RESIDENTS. AND THERE ARE OTHER CITIES IN COLLIN COUNTY THAT DO NOT SHARE THAT SAME SENTIMENT. AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY THIS IS THIS ESD STARTED IS BECAUSE SOME CITIES HAVE MADE THE DECISION NOT TO RESPOND TO THE COUNTY. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS, IS NOW WE'VE MADE IT POLITICAL, AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. IT HAS TO DO WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES. AND YOU CAN SAY THAT THEY ARE COUNTY RESIDENTS AND THEY DON'T PAY TAX DOLLARS, THEY DON'T PAY PROPERTY TAX, BUT THEY ATTEND. THEIR KIDS ATTEND OUR SCHOOLS, THEY SHOP IN OUR STORES, THEY EAT AT OUR RESTAURANTS. SO THEY PAY SALES TAX AND THEY SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITIES IN OTHER WAYS. THEY MAY NOT PHYSICALLY PAY PROPERTY TAX, BUT AT THE END OF

[01:55:05]

THE DAY, THIS IS ABOUT PEOPLE. AND I TOLD JUDGE HILL, IT'S NOT FAIR TO A CAPTAIN OR LIEUTENANT ON THAT FIRE TRUCK AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING THAT GETS DISPATCHED TO A CARDIAC ARREST OR STRUCTURE FIRE, AND YOU GET TO THE EDGE OF THE CITY AND YOU GO, NOT MY PROBLEM. IT'S IN THE COUNTY.

BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, FIREFIGHTERS NOT BUILT THAT WAY. WE'RE BUILT TO HELP PEOPLE. AND SO. THE ETJ THING, IN MY OPINION, JUST KIND OF MUDDIES THE WATER UP BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL COUNTY RESIDENTS. THEY DON'T LIVE IN THE CITY. THEY DON'T PAY CITY TAXES. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY'RE IN ETJ OR NOT. IN MY OPINION, IT'S CITIES FARTHER NORTH THAT ARE WORRIED ABOUT OTHER THINGS. SO I'VE ALWAYS APPRECIATED THAT. AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT YOU MAKE OUR LIVES EASIER BY NOT MAKING IT POLITICAL AND ALLOWING US TO JUST TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. SO THANK YOU. YEAH, BRANT STOLE MY THUNDER THERE BECAUSE. BECAUSE YOU AND I, MAYOR PRO TEM FORRESTER, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT PREVIOUSLY WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING ABOUT INSPIRATION. THAT THAT WOULD BE MY ASK, IS THAT WE NEVER ALLOW IT TO GET TO OUR OPERATIONS PERSONNEL. AND SO I THINK THERE'S ALWAYS A BETTER WAY TO SERVE IT. IN OUR CASE, THERE'S NOT ANYBODY ELSE TO SERVE IT BECAUSE IT'S VERY BROKEN UP. IT'S MOSTLY IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF OUR CITY LIMITS OR AROUND OUR CITY LIMITS. BUT TO BRENT'S POINT, THERE'S VERY LITTLE IT'S NOT A AS A HOT BUTTON OF A TOPIC IN OUR AREA AS IT IS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTY. NOW, THERE MAY BE THE REST OF THIS ROOM, MAY BE FULL OF PEOPLE FROM THE FROM THE ETJ, I DON'T KNOW, BUT I SAW THE PETITION THAT HAD A LITTLE OVER 300 SIGNATURES AND ALL OF THEM WERE UP IN THE NORTHERN PART OF MCKINNEY, WHERE A CITY HAS ALREADY SAID THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GO ANYMORE. ALONG THAT 380 CORRIDOR, PRINCETON, THE PRINCETON AREA, AND EAST INTO FARMERSVILLE. BUT THE MAJORITY OF THEM WERE NORTHWESTERN COLLIN COUNTY RESIDENTS. AND SO, AGAIN, WE TAKE CARE OF OUR RESIDENTS HERE. WE HAVEN'T SENT A LETTER IN. WE HAVEN'T WE HAVEN'T MADE IT TO POLITICAL. YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS THIS COULD BE A GOOD THING. I THINK OUR THREAT IS WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CONTROL OVER IT. THE COUNTY COULD SAY WE'RE GETTING THIS MONEY AND WE'RE PAYING Y'ALL THE SAME AMOUNT, AND WE GOT TO MAKE A DECISION AT THAT POINT. BUT I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO DO THAT. THERE'S BEEN NO DISCUSSION OF IT. THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE ONLY SPEAK FOR MY SERVICES. BUT AT THAT POINT I DON'T THINK IT CHANGES. YOU TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE CITY, EVEN IF THEY'RE IN THE ETJ. AS WAS STATED RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T CONTROL WHAT WE DON'T CONTROL. WITH REGARDS TO HOW THE COUNTY DECIDES TO PROVIDE THAT FUNDING OUT, SURE. BUT I DON'T THINK IT CHANGES. I DON'T THINK I COULD NEVER MAKE A DECISION MYSELF, AND I, AND I DON'T THINK ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES WOULD. SO I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO THINK I'M IMPUGNING THAT TO TELL YOU ALL THAT OUR SERVICE STOPS AT THE CITY LIMITS WHEN SOMEBODY IS IN A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION, PROPERTY GOING UP IN FLAMES, WHATEVER IT IS. YEAH, YOUR JOB IS TO HELP YOU GET WHAT'S INGRAINED IN ALL OF YOU, AND I DON'T I WOULD NEVER TAKE THAT PERSONALLY, AND I DOUBT ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES WOULD EVER SAY THAT EITHER. SO, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF IT DID COME BACK THAT WAY, I DON'T THINK WE WOULD CHANGE OUR APPROACH TO AIDING THE CITIZENS.

THEY MAY TECHNICALLY NOT BE A CITIZEN, BUT AIDING THOSE NEIGHBORS WHO MAY JUST HAPPEN TO LIVE IN WHAT'S CONSIDERED THE COUNTY. SURE. AND I'VE GOT I'VE GOT SEVERAL PEOPLE. YEAH. AND PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 332 CALLS LAST YEAR, ABOUT 5% OF OUR CALL VOLUME WITH THE MAJORITY OF THAT BEING EMS. SO WE'VE GOT A PUBLIC HEARING TO GET TO. BUT BUT WE THANK THEM FOR THINKING OF OUR BUDGET AS WELL, AND MAYBE INCREASING THE NUMBER OF THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE GET BASED ON THESE CALLS. SO WE APPRECIATE THAT TOO. THANK YOU.

MAYOR. CHIEF, I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM ONE THING ABOUT THE INSPIRATION, AND THAT IS THAT THERE'S NOT A CHANCE WITH THIS IN PLACE, THAT INSPIRATION COULD CHOOSE NOT TO RENEW OUR CONTRACT, FALL BACK ON THE. I KNOW WE'VE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT IT, BUT WE'VE TALKED AROUND THIS THEM NOT RENEW THE CONTRACT AND THEN FALL BACK ON THIS DISTRICT HAVING BEEN CREATED. INSPIRATION COULD DO THAT TODAY. THEY COULD THEY COULD CHOOSE TO CONTRACT WITH SOMEBODY ELSE TODAY.

THERE'S A CLAUSE TO GET OUT OF THAT CONTRACT, BUT THAT'S JUST A CONTRACT. THE EMERGENCY SERVICE DISTRICT CAN CHOOSE TO CONTRACT WITH WHOEVER THEY WANT. THEY DON'T HAVE TO CONTRACT WITH THE CITY OF WYLIE. BUT AGAIN, IN OUR PART OF THE COUNTY, I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT. I KNOW WITH OUR MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS, WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE AT THE END OF THE DAY NO MATTER WHAT, BECAUSE AND THAT'S ALWAYS A RISK THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, EVEN WITH INSPIRATION, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY THEY PAY US NOW TO RESPOND TO THAT, TO THE, TO

[02:00:04]

THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT WITH MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS IN PLACE ACROSS THE COUNTY, IF SOMEBODY ELSE DOES IT FOR CHEAPER AND, AND GOES OUT THERE AND THEN CALLS US FOR MUTUAL AID ALL THE TIME, THAT THAT'S THAT'S DEFINITELY A THREAT. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE PROVIDE SERVICE NOT ONLY TO COLLIN COUNTY AND OUR ETJ, BUT BUT INSPIRATION IN SAINT PAUL AND ROCKWALL COUNTY AND DALLAS COUNTY. AND SO, YOU KNOW, IN OUR AREA, I THINK WE'RE RELATIVELY SAFE FROM THAT. SO AND I KNOW FROM. FROM A HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDPOINT, WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT. SURE. FROM A FINANCIAL AND BUDGETING STANDPOINT, JUST TRYING TO PLAN FOR WHAT MIGHT BE COMING OR TRYING TO SEE SOME CURVEBALLS THAT MIGHT BE COMING, TRYING TO SEE IF THEY END UP, IF THEY END UP GOING THAT DIRECTION AND END UP NOT NOT RENEWING BECAUSE THEY REALIZE THAT WE'RE IN THE EXTENDED SERVICE DISTRICT AND THEREFORE WE'VE GOT TO RESPOND. DOES THAT MEAN THAT IF WE'RE IN THAT SERVICE DISTRICT, THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO USE OUR ISO ONE RATING? BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT'S PROBABLY THE ONLY THING KEEPING OUR CONTRACT IN PLACE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE COST ASSOCIATED. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. I WOULD HAVE TO SEE IF WE DIDN'T RESPOND TO THEIR ISO WOULD WRITE THEM. THEY WOULD WRITE WHOEVER RESPONDS THERE, AND THEY WOULD GET THAT BASED ON WHATEVER THAT DEPARTMENT WAS. OKAY, SO I DON'T I WOULD HAVE TO GET THE ANSWER TO THAT FOR SURE. I CAN I CAN TRY TO LOOK THAT UP AND SEE IF I CAN FIND OUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO ISO RATE THE EXTENDED SERVICE DISTRICT OVERALL. WELL, THE ISO RATING BELONGS TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND EXTENDS FIVE MILES OUTSIDE FROM A FIRE STATION AND A THOUSAND MILES FROM A FIRE HYDRANT. SO EVEN OUR COUNTY RESIDENTS, ETJ RESIDENTS ARE GETTING THAT NOW. OKAY, THEN I DON'T. BUT IF THEY CONTRACTED WITH SOMEBODY ELSE AND ISO FOUND THAT OUT, THEY WOULD PROBABLY RATE THEM AT WHATEVER THAT DEPARTMENT WAS. OKAY. AND WHAT ARE THOSE TOTAL DOLLARS OR ROUGH TOTAL DOLLARS THAT WE THAT WE HAVE BRING IN FROM INSPIRATION? IT'S JUST OVER A MILLION ANNUALLY. OKAY. JUST HELPS ME GET NUMBERS. THANK YOU. OKAY. SO WITH THAT, WE DO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM. I DO HAVE ONE INDIVIDUAL WHO ASKED TO SPEAK, SO I'LL START WITH THEM.

BUT I'LL OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING IF ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IS PRESENT WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, I'LL ASK THAT YOU COME FORWARD. I WILL START WITH THE INDIVIDUAL WHO ASKED TO SPEAK FIRST. THAT IS TONY BROWNBACK. THANK YOU. AND IF YOU'LL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, TONY BROWNBACK, 2845 EAST STONE IN WYLIE. I'VE LIVED THERE 25 YEARS AND I'M A COUNTY RESIDENT. I LIVE ADJACENT TO THE CITY LIMITS NEAR WYLIE EAST HIGH SCHOOL. THE WYLIE FIRE STATION NUMBER THREE IS ABOUT TWO MILES AWAY, AND I'VE SEEN. FIRE TRUCKS AND AMBULANCES PROVIDE EMERGENCY SERVICES MANY TIMES DOWN OUR ROAD DOWN STONE ROAD, AND IT'S VERY COMFORTING TO BE CLOSE TO A HIGH QUALITY FIRE DEPARTMENT. I UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ISO RATINGS AND. I WOULD I WOULD HOPE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO RECEIVE SERVICES FROM THE CITY. I APPRECIATE COUNCILMAN'S REMARKS ABOUT. TAKING CARE OF US, AS WELL AS THE CITY MANAGER'S REMARKS. I READ THE INFORMATION ON THE COLLIN COUNTY PUBLIC INFORMATION WEBSITE. I TRADED EMAILS WITH COMMISSIONER CHERYL WILLIAMS, AND I HAD A VERY INFORMATIVE AND BENEFICIAL PHONE CALL WITH CHIEF BLYTHE ABOUT RESIDENTS WITHIN THE WYLIE ETJ. IT WAS ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THINGS MAY HAVE CHANGED. THE COUNTY WEBSITE HAD A LETTER DATED LAST NOVEMBER FROM MR. PARKER TO THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, AFFIRMING WYLIE'S COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE SERVICES AND THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WHICH WAS ATTACHED TO THE LETTER HAS THE WORD SAMPLE IN THE BACKGROUND, SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S STILL RELEVANT FOR THE CITY FOR 2025. BUT BASED ON THE COUNTY'S WEBSITE, WE CAN'T REALLY DO MUCH EXCEPT WAIT FOR THE CITY'S DECISION AND THEN ATTEND TO THE JULY PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN VOTE IN NOVEMBER TO BE PART OF AN ESD. LISTENING TO THE DISCUSSION

[02:05:06]

TONIGHT. IT WOULD SEEM LIKE THE ESD IS MORE OF A FINANCIAL ORGANIZATION RATHER THAN AN INFRASTRUCTURE BASED ALTERNATE EMERGENCY SERVICES DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE THAT WOULD. PUT US IN A LOWER LEVEL OF SERVICE AND RESPONSE THAT, FRANKLY, WE'VE BEEN TAKING IT FOR GRANTED TO BE THIS CLOSE TO WYLIE AND KNOW THAT WE HAVE VERY GOOD SERVICE AVAILABLE. IF IT'S IF IT'S NOT INFRASTRUCTURE AND IF IT'S JUST FINANCIAL TO ADD SOMETHING TO OUR TAX RATE, SALES TAX RATE OR PROPERTY TAX RATE OR SOMETHING, THAT WOULD BE SOMEWHAT I FRANKLY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT. I DON'T MIND PAYING FOR GOOD SERVICE AND I UNDERSTAND. AM I RUNNING OUT OF TIME? SORRY.

YOU'RE OKAY. JUST LIKE EARLIER. I'LL GIVE PEOPLE A CHANCE TO FINISH. I JUST LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE OUT. ALL RIGHT? IF ALL IT IS, IS FINANCIAL AGAIN, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, I DON'T.

I WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED WHEN THE AGENDA SAID THAT. YOU WERE. THIS IS THE PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSENT TO THE INCLUSION OF THE CITY'S ETJ WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE ESD. IT WAS MY FIRST FEELING WAS, ARE YOU KICKING US OUT INTO THE COUNTY TO BE TAKEN CARE OF? AND I HOPE THAT'S NOT THE SITUATION. NO. SO IF THANK YOU. AND IF IT'S IF WE CAN CLARIFY, IT IS TRULY A FINANCIAL CHANGE THAT WOULD IF VOTED BY THE RESIDENTS IN THE ETJ THOSE WHO ARE PART OF IT, IT WOULD APPLY A, SAY A PROPERTY TAX RATE THAT WOULD THEN GO TOWARDS FUNDING THE DEPARTMENTS THAT ALREADY RESPOND IN THOSE AREAS. SO IT JUST PROVIDES A MECHANISM WHERE THE COUNTY IS PROVIDING FUNDING THROUGH THAT TO THE CITY. WELL, I BELIEVE THAT ON OUR TAX BILLS, THERE'S LIKE A RODENT TAX ASSESSMENT. WE NEVER SEE IT. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. IT WOULD THIS WOULD JUST BE ANOTHER LINE ITEM ON OUR TAX BILL. AND HOPEFULLY IT WOULD BE BASED ON NOT JUST THE ASSESSED VALUE, BUT INCLUDE SENIOR CITIZENS, HOMEOWNERS. AND I'LL HAVE TO ASK YOU TO WRAP UP FOR US. PARDON ME, I'LL HAVE TO ASK YOU TO WRAP UP FOR US. SO THAT'S IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU FOR COMING. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING. DID YOU WANT TO I WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON JUST ONE THING, BECAUSE I SAID IT AT THE BEGINNING. I MAKE IT CLEAR WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ETJ TONIGHT BECAUSE THAT'S ALL WE CAN OPT IN OR OPT OUT. THE ESD IS FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY. ANY ANY UNINCORPORATED PROPERTY IN COLLIN COUNTY. AND TO FOLLOW UP ON ON COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS SHOULD SHOULD THIS SHOULD THIS EVER BECOME A PROBLEM OR THE RESIDENTS WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT? 7.75 SPELLS OUT IF A GROUP OF RESIDENTS WANTED TO PETITION AND FORM A SECOND ESD, OR A THIRD, OR A FOURTH, OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, THEY COULD DO THAT WITHIN THE COUNTY. CARVE OUT A NEW SET OF BOUNDARIES. GO GO TO THE COMMISSIONERS COURT, PETITION IT, FOLLOW THAT SAME PROCESS. AND OUR RESIDENTS AROUND THE AROUND THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF WYLIE COULD ESSENTIALLY FORM THEIR OWN, OR THEY COULD IN FARMERSVILLE OR WHEREVER. SO IF OUR RESIDENTS IN OUR COUNTY AREA WEREN'T HAPPY WITH WITH THE DECISIONS THAT WERE MADE BY THE ESD BOARD, THEY COULD SIMPLY START THEIR OWN, FOLLOW THE SAME PROCESS. OKAY, SO IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING. I'D LIKE TO OPEN IT NOW TO ANYONE ELSE PRESENT THIS EVENING WHO WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON THIS ITEM. SURE. I KNOW IT'S REPETITIVE, BUT I'LL ASK YOU TO STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD FOR US. JOSHUA THRONEBURG AT 1423 BEAR PAW LANE, WYLIE, TEXAS. AND IT'S NOT ABOUT DRAINAGE THIS TIME. IT IS ABOUT, HONESTLY, MY OWN IGNORANCE WHEN IT COMES TO THE ESD. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE JUST NOTICED YESTERDAY ON A FACEBOOK POST, SO DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THE FACEBOOK POST. WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF COMPARISON BETWEEN PRICING, YOU KNOW, FOR WHAT IS PROVIDED NOW, AND DEFINITELY APPRECIATE, YOU KNOW, THOSE SERVICES BEING COVERED AS IS. BUT YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE NOW FOR IF WE HAVE A FIRE, IF WE HAVE A CALL, SOMETHING LIKE THAT VERSUS WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IN AN ESD FOR NOW, MOST OF THE TIMES I'VE CALLED THE POLICE, IT'S BEEN, WELL, TALK ABOUT THE S CURVE FOR A SECOND, BUT IT'S PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN WRECKED IN THE S CURVE. YOU KNOW, THE

[02:10:05]

MIDNIGHT CALLS WHERE THEY'RE DOWN THERE STUCK AND YELLING, HEY, SOMEONE NEEDS TO GO HELP THEM. SO WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? YOU KNOW, PAST WHAT'S IT LOOK LIKE PRESENT. AND WHAT'S THE PRICING BETWEEN THOSE? YOU OKAY? I'LL DEFER TO ONE OF Y'ALL. YEAH. SO AGAIN IF THE IF THE IF, IF IT WERE TO PASS IN NOVEMBER THE ESD WAS ESTABLISHED. THE BOARD SELECTED WILEY TO CONTRACT WITH THEM. WE WOULD TREAT IT EXACTLY LIKE WE DO TODAY. WE WOULD RESPOND JUST LIKE WE DO TODAY. AND ONE THING THAT'S PROBABLY UNIQUE THAT THAT THE COUNTY DOES NOT LIKE, BUT THAT WE'VE BEEN PRETTY VOCAL. ALL THE FIRE CHIEFS THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO IS WE TREAT OUR COUNTY RESIDENTS JUST LIKE THEY'RE A CITY RESIDENT. SO IF THERE'S A STRUCTURE FIRE THERE, WE DON'T SEND A MODIFIED RESPONSE BECAUSE THEY'RE IN THE COUNTY. WE SEND EVERYTHING JUST LIKE YOU. IF IT WAS A WILEY ADDRESS. SO THAT'S HOW THAT WOULD WORK AS FAR AS WHAT IT COST PER RUN. AGAIN, LIKE I SAID EARLIER, RIGHT NOW IT'S ABOUT JUST OVER $2,000 FOR A RUN. THE COUNTY PAYS US JUST OVER 200. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE PRICING MODEL WOULD LAY OUT, BUT THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE IN RESPONSE. THAT WOULD BE OUR GOAL AND IT WOULD BE OUR GOAL FOR THE FOR THE COUNTY AND THE ESD TO CONTINUE TO CONTRACT WITH US TO SERVE ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS, JUST LIKE WE DO TODAY. YEAH. AND JUST TO CLARIFY, WE DON'T BILL OUR RESIDENTS. SO YOU WOULDN'T GET A BILL IF YOU HAD A FIRE AT YOUR HOUSE. WE MAY BILL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY, BUT WE DON'T BILL RESIDENTS FOR IF YOU HAD A FIRE AT YOUR HOUSE OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE. I GUESS ONE PART, NOT THE PODIUM, BUT AS FAR AS HOUSING VERSUS LAND, IS THERE ANY SORT OF DIFFERENCE IN VALUATION? IT'S A YEAH, IT'S A55 CENTS IS. YEAH. YEAH. SO YEAH. SO IT'S A IT'S JUST LIKE YOUR PROPERTY TAXES FOR YOUR NOW THIS IS ONLY FOR COUNTY RESIDENTS NOT CITY. IF YOU'RE IN THE CITY LIMITS THIS DOESN'T IMPACT YOU. IT'S ONLY COUNTY RESIDENTS THAT THIS WOULD IMPACT. SO IT'S STILL THE SAME WAY. IT WOULD ESSENTIALLY BE LIKE HAVING AN ADDITIONAL TAXING ENTITY ON YOUR BILL. THE. COUNTY PROPERTY TAX. I'M SORRY. IT WOULD BE. YES, IT WOULD BE JUST LIKE YOUR COUNTY PROPERTY TAX. IT WOULD BE LISTED ON THE BILL. I ASSUME IT'S PROBABLY CALLED OUT SEPARATELY.

I HAVE SOME PROPERTY IN ANOTHER COUNTY THAT'S IN AN ESD, AND IT IS A LINE ITEM, JUST LIKE SCHOOL, COLLIN COLLEGE, ANYTHING ELSE? IT IS A LINE ITEM ON THERE THAT SAYS EMERGENCY SERVICE DISTRICT AND THE NUMBER ONE TO WHATEVER. RIGHT NOW IT'S ONLY ONE. ALLOCATION THAT YOU'RE PAYING THAT TO. THE COUNTY IS COLLECTING IT. IT'S GOING TO THE ESD BOARD. THEY'RE MANAGING IT THROUGH THAT CONTRACT TO GO BACK TO THE CITY OF WILEY OR WHOEVER THEY CONTRACT WITH. YEAH, YEAH.

OKAY. SO I'M GOING TO OPEN IT BACK UP. CHIEF, THANK YOU FOR STEPPING UP AND ANSWERING SOME QUESTIONS THAT OUR RESIDENTS BROUGHT FORWARD. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE HERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? OKAY, I DON'T SEE ANYONE. SO, MISS STORM, LET THE RECORD REFLECT.

I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND THEN WE'VE GOT SEVERAL PEOPLE. COUNCILMAN MALIKI, I'M READY FOR A MOTION. IF YOU ARE, I'LL DOUBLE CHECK. OKAY, SO EVERYONE'S GOOD. SO I WOULD OPEN IT TO A MOTION. COUNCILMAN MALIKI MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM AS PRESENTED. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. DO WE HAVE A SECOND MAYOR PRO TEM? SECOND. OKAY. MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE. THE ITEM IS PRESENTED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THE MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

[7. Consider, and act upon, the approval of an Assignment and Assumption of Fire Protection Agreement between the City of Wylie, Texas and Inspiration Residential Association, Inc. in favor of Collin County Water Control and Improvement District No. 3 and authorizing the City Manager to execute any necessary documents.]

WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM SEVEN TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON THE APPROVAL OF AN ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF FIRE PROTECTION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS AND INSPIRATION RESIDENTIAL ASSOCIATION, INCORPORATED IN FAVOR OF COLLIN COUNTY WATER CONTROL AND IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NUMBER THREE, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ANY NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. CHIEF BLYTHE, THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS ITEM I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR IS COMPLETELY UNRELATED. IT'S JUST COINCIDENCE THAT IT'S ON THE SAME AGENDA AND IT'S THAT IT'S RIGHT AFTER THIS. COMPLETELY UNRELATED, BUT WE WERE CONTACTED BY INSPIRATION.

IT'S REALLY PROBABLY BEEN OVER A YEAR AGO. AND WE'VE BEEN WE'VE BEEN KIND OF DELAYING IT UNTIL WE FELT LIKE THE TIMING WAS RIGHT. BUT THEY'VE ASKED US TO REASSIGN THEIR CURRENT FIRE PROTECTION CONTRACT FROM THEIR HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION TO THEIR WATER CONTROL BOARD. SEVERAL REASONS FOR THAT. IT'S A HUGE BENEFIT TO THEM, WITH THE BIGGEST BEING THAT CURRENTLY

[02:15:03]

THEY COLLECT HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION DUES TWICE A YEAR. WE HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES BECAUSE THEY'VE HAD HAD SOME ISSUES COLLECTING, WHICH HAS TURNED INTO US HAVING SOME ISSUES.

THEY'VE ALWAYS THEY'VE ALWAYS PAID US AND THEY'VE ALWAYS CAUGHT THAT BACK UP. BUT THEY HAVE HAD SOME PROBLEMS IN THE PAST. SO OBVIOUSLY THE OH, I'M SORRY, THE, THE UTILITY, THE MUD BOARD, THE UTILITY DISTRICT IS A TAXING ENTITY. SO FOR A RESIDENT OUT THERE, THIS WOULD BECOME A TAX DEDUCTIBLE ITEM ON THEIR ANNUAL TAX BILL. IT WOULD BE COLLECTED JUST LIKE ANY OTHER UTILITY TAX THAT THEY HAVE AS PART OF THEIR MUNICIPAL DISTRICT. AND IT'S THE SAME CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE TODAY. BUT AS I SAID EARLIER, SHOULD THIS SHOULD THE ESD PASS, WE WOULD PROBABLY BRING THIS CONTRACT BACK AFTER IT WOULD BE ASSUMED TONIGHT, IF APPROVED, IT WOULD BE ASSUMED BY THE UTILITY BOARD. BUT THEN AFTER THAT IT WOULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO Y'ALL AT A LATER DATE TO RENEGOTIATE THAT CONTRACT, PROBABLY THROUGH THE ESD, BECAUSE INSPIRATION WILL BECOME PART OF THE ESD AS IT STANDS TODAY. SO I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT ITEM. MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU. MAYOR. THIS IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE MOVE TO ALLOW THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION TO PAY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ON A MORE REGULAR BASIS. SO IF YOU'RE PREPARED FOR A MOTION, I WOULD BE. YES, SIR. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM AS PRESENTED. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. DO WE HAVE A SECOND, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS? I'LL SECOND IT. WE HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THE MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. ITEM EIGHT IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON THE RECOMMENDATION TO

[8. Consider, and act upon, the recommendation to reject all bids for W2025-87 Stone Road Maintenance Activities.]

REJECT ALL BIDS FOR W 20 2587 STONE ROAD MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES. MR. RODRIGUEZ. MAYOR COUNCIL, WE ARE REQUESTING THE STONE ROAD ACTIVITIES TO BE REJECTED DUE TO ONE OF THE BIDS BEING UNRESPONSIVE DUE TO A FAILING TO INCLUDE A REQUIRED DISCLAIMER RELATED TO THE MODIFICATION OF THE BID SCHEDULE. ALSO, THE SECOND BID WAS 7.25% OVER THE ALLOCATED BUDGET, SO WE ARE REQUESTING TO REJECT ALL BIDS AND TO REBID IT. OKAY, WHAT WOULD THE GENERAL TIME FRAME BE TO REBID THAT. SO WE'RE WE'LL GO BACK OUT TOMORROW. WE SHOULD HAVE IT BY THE SECOND COUNCIL IN MAY THAT YOU GUYS WERE AWARDED. AND I BELIEVE THERE ARE NO ISSUES. I BELIEVE WE HAD SAID WE WOULD BE LOOKING TO TRY TO START DURING THE SUMMER AFTER SCHOOL WAS OUT ANYWAY, MR. PARKER, IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT, MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU. MAYOR.

AGAIN, THIS IS PURELY ADMINISTRATIVE MOVE TO ALLOW THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT TO CONTINUE DOING THE BEST THEY CAN TO KEEP US BELOW BUDGET OR ON BUDGET FOR THE PROJECT. SO IF YOU'RE PREPARED FOR MOTION, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THIS ITEM AS PRESENTED. TAKE THE MOTION SECOND. SECOND. COUNCILMAN MALIKAI MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE ITEM AS PRESENTED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO WITH THAT ITEM NINE IS TO

IT ALSO INCLUDES THE GENERAL FUND, SALARY, BENEFITS, AND SAVINGS, AS WELL AS UTILITY FUND AND FOR B. AND ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS AMENDMENT IS THE PROPOSED PAY PLAN ADJUSTMENTS FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, WHICH ACTUALLY CAME IN UNDER THE AMOUNT THAT WE BUDGETED LAST YEAR. AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. SO COUNCIL, I KNOW WE HAVE.

DO WE HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND IF NOT, I WOULD BE OPEN TO A MOTION ON THIS ITEM. MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU. MAYOR. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. DO WE HAVE A SECOND COUNCILMAN? STRENGTH. I'LL SECOND. OKAY. MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. THANK YOU. WE WOULD NORMALLY GO INTO OUR WORK SESSION AT THIS POINT, BUT I

THANK YOU SUSAN. OKAY, WELL, FOR NOW, I'LL MOVE US OUT INTO A BUT I'LL BE THERE. WITH THAT, WE'LL GAVEL BACK INTO SESSION. WE'RE MOVING OUT OF OUR REGULAR

[WS1. Wylie Public Works Department update and Five-Year Plan.]

AGENDA TO OUR WORK SESSION. WE HAVE OUR WILEY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTS UPDATE IN FIVE YEAR PLAN. MR. TOMMY WEIR, IF YOU'LL HIT THE MICROPHONE ONCE YOU GET THAT PULLED UP. NEED HELP? LET ME KNOW. ARE YOU SID JAMES BACK THERE? I CAN GET HIM. I COME AROUND, GOT IT. YEAH. THAT MAN WILL BE IN THERE. I'LL TELL YOU. LOOK, HE'LL BE THERE AT MIDNIGHT IF THOSE ARE THE PROBLEM. YEAH.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I WILL TRY TO MAKE THIS AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE. WE'RE JUST GOING TO GIVE A QUICK UPDATE OF PUBLIC WORKS WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY AND KIND OF WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. SO PUBLIC WORKS WERE MADE UP OF REALLY FIVE MAJOR FUNCTIONS ADMINISTRATION, STREETS, OUR STREETS, FLEET SERVICES, WATER AND WASTEWATER. THOSE DIVISIONS ARE BROKEN DOWN A LITTLE BIT FURTHER. YOU KNOW, WE WATER QUALITY, WATER DISTRIBUTION, WASTEWATER IS DONE WITH WITH A PM CREW AND EXCAVATION CREW. AND THEN OUR STREETS IS REALLY WE'RE KIND OF BREAKING IT OUT. WE'RE KIND OF BUILDING THAT THAT CONCRETE CREW OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IS WHAT WE'RE REALLY HOPING TOWARDS, TO MOVE TOWARDS. WE DO HAVE DOES YOUR CONCRETE, DO CREW DO ASPHALT AS WELL? ARE THEY GOING TO BE FOCUSED SPECIFICALLY ON CONCRETE? THEY'RE GOING TO BE FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON CONCRETE SIDEWALKS. SO THEY'RE REALLY JUST A WE CALL IT A CONCRETE CREW, BUT IT'S REALLY A SIDEWALK CREW. SO IN PUBLIC WORKS WE DO HAVE THERE'S 57 POSITIONS. AND I'M HAPPY TO SAY TONIGHT THAT WE ARE FULLY STAFFED. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME, FIRST TIME IN THREE AND A HALF YEARS. SO OVER THE PAST YEAR, JUST A LITTLE BIT BY THE NUMBERS. YOU KNOW, OUR ADMINISTRATION TAKES IN RESIDENTS CALLS. WE'VE HAD A LITTLE UPTAKE OF RESIDENCE CALLS THIS YEAR. WE'RE IN 2024 PROCESS ALL THE REGISTRATIONS FOR OVER THE COURSE OF THE CITY. REALLY OUR FLEET. ONE THING REALLY ABOUT THE FLEET, YOU KNOW, AS IN OCTOBER WE WERE ABLE TO ADD A SECOND MECHANIC, BUT REALLY WE WERE WE STOOD HERE LAST YEAR AND WE SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, IN 2024, WE REALLY WANTED TO BRING A LOT OF STUFF FOR FLEET IN-HOUSE. SO IN 2024, WE DID HAVE 791 SERVICE REQUESTS. WE'RE ABLE TO COMPLETE 510 OF THOSE IN-HOUSE VERSUS HAVING AN OUTSIDE SOURCE. WE DID SEE A SAVINGS. YOU KNOW, IT WAS A SMALL SAVINGS. I MEAN, IT'S $40,000 THAT WE SAW IN SAVINGS BY DOING IT IN-HOUSE. NOT TO INCLUDE THE TIME, THOUGH. I WAS GOING TO SAY THE EMPLOYEES RUNNING BACK AND FORTH TO THE VENDORS, REALLY OUR WATER, YOU KNOW, MOST OF MOST OF OUR WATER SYSTEM HAS ALREADY BEEN BUILT OUT. YOU KNOW, REALLY EVERYTHING THAT'S ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN THAT'S GOING TO BE THAT WILY NORTHEAST. I MEAN, I'M SORRY, EAST FORK WATER THAT'S OVER THERE. SO, YOU KNOW, PRIMARILY AS AS WHY THE WATER SYSTEMS IS.
