[PR1. Junior Mayor - Eliana Butler.]

SO FIRST, THIS EVENING, AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE OUR JUNIOR MAYOR WITH US, MISS ELIANA BUTLER, AND WOULD LIKE TO LET HER INTRODUCE HERSELF AND TELL YOU GUYS WHERE SHE GOES TO SCHOOL RIGHT NOW AND WHAT GRADE SHE'S IN. MY NAME IS ELIANA BUTLER, AND THE SCHOOL I GO TO IS COX ELEMENTARY, AND I'M IN FOURTH GRADE. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO SAY? SO WE DO JUNIOR MAYORS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. OUR OFFICE, THE OFFICE OF THE MAYOR, WILL PUT THIS FORWARD, OFTEN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ISD, TO HELP RAISE FUNDS AT EVENTS WHERE IT CAN BE BID ON. AND IN THIS INSTANCE, IT CAME FROM THE ANNUAL BOOTS AND BARBECUE GALA.

SO I DO HAVE A PROCLAMATION THAT I WOULD LIKE TO READ TO YOU. WE HAVE ACTUALLY ALREADY BEEN TO COX, WHERE WE GOT PEPPERED WITH QUESTIONS. SHE DIDN'T GET TOO MANY, BUT A LOT OF GREAT QUESTIONS FROM HER CLASSMATES AND HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR HER IN FRONT OF THEM BEFORE THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. BUT ALSO, WE ALWAYS LIKE TO BRING THEM IN FOR A PIZZA PARTY BEFORE THE MEETING AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET, AS WELL AS WITH HER FAMILY, WITH ME IN MY OFFICE, SO SHE WILL STICK AROUND FOR THE PRESENTATIONS AND RECOGNITIONS. BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE HER STAY ALL NIGHT. WHEREAS ELIANA BUTLER HAS THE PRIVILEGE TO BE HONORARY MAYOR FOR THE DAY IN

[00:05:02]

[PR2. EMS Week.]

NOW, THIS YEAR, CELEBRATING EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES WEEK IS A LITTLE MORE SPECIAL IN THE CITY OF WYLIE. THE REASON BEING IS THAT THE DECISION WAS MADE WORKING TOGETHER WITH OUR EXPERTS IN WYLIE FIRE RESCUE, THAT WE SHOULD BRING OUR EMS SERVICES FULLY IN-HOUSE THIS PAST YEAR. THIS MEANT THAT INSTEAD OF WORKING WITH A THIRD PARTY CONTRACTOR, WE WOULD HAVE DIRECT EMPLOYEES WITH THE CITY TO ENSURE THAT THE HIGHEST STANDARDS WERE MAINTAINED AND TO ENSURE THAT AS WE NEEDED TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF AMBULANCES AND THE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY, THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO MEET THOSE NEEDS. I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE SOME OF THE MOST BASIC NEEDS AND BASIC EXPECTATIONS THE PUBLIC SHOULD AND DOES HAVE OF A CITY IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE APPROPRIATE FIRST RESPONDERS IN PLACE. WHEN YOU DIAL 911 AND YOU NEED SOMEONE TO COME HELP, OR YOU GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT OR ANY OTHER SITUATION AND YOU'RE RELYING ON EMS, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE THERE, THEY ARE TRAINED AND THAT THEY CAN ASSIST YOU IN THAT TIME OF NEED. SO WE APPRECIATE ALL THAT THEY DO. THEY WORK VERY, VERY HARD ON BEHALF OF THE PUBLIC. I TELL PEOPLE IT'S 24 OVER SEVEN, 365. THERE IS NO TIME OFF. THERE ARE NO WEEKENDS OR HOLIDAYS. SOMEONE IS ALWAYS ON SHIFT. SOMEONE IS ALWAYS THERE MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE AVAILABLE FOR US, FOR PEOPLE THEY MAY NEVER MEET AGAIN IN THEIR LIFE, AND THEY ARE TAKING THAT TIME AWAY FROM FAMILY. THEY ARE TAKING THAT TIME AWAY FROM KIDS, SPOUSES, TIME THAT THEY COULD OTHERWISE BE PUTTING IN INTO A GOOD USE. AND SO AGAIN, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF THE CITY TO ALL OF YOU. IT'S ALSO, AT TIMES, A DANGEROUS JOB.

I KNOW YOU ALL DEAL WITH A WIDE RANGE OF ISSUES THAT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, RESPONDING TO A CALL THAT COULD BE RESPONDING TO A MENTAL HEALTH CALL, OR A MYRIAD OF OTHER THINGS. AND SO, AGAIN, ON BEHALF OF OUR CITIZENS AND OUR COUNCIL, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO FOR US. CHIEF BLYTHE, THANK YOU, MAYOR. SOME OF OUR PERSONNEL ARE HERE TONIGHT FROM BOTH FIRE AND EMS, BUT ACTUALLY ALL FOUR OF THE AMBULANCES ARE TRANSPORTING TO THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW, SO BAD TIMING. BAD TIMING FOR THIS. A COUPLE OF THEM MAY HAVE JUST WALKED IN. THERE YOU GO. THERE'S ONE OF THEM. BUT TO KIND OF EXPAND ON WHAT THE MAYOR SAID,

[00:10:04]

THEY'RE FROM OUR EMS DIVISION. NEW EMPLOYEES. BUT THIS IS NOTHING NEW TO WILDFIRE RESCUE.

JUST THIS PORTION WAS BROUGHT IN HOUSE AND IT'S MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. AND IT'S MADE AN IMPACT, POSITIVE IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY. SO WE APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. WHATEVER YOU DO, INTRODUCE YOURSELF. OH, HELLO, I'M HEIDI HAWKINS, I'M THE EMS MANAGER. I'M BRITTANY CLARK, I AM AN EMT, I'M BEVERLY GAITHER, AND I'M THE EMS RECORDS ANALYST. I'M MATTHEW TRIPP, I'M A BATTALION CHIEF ON B SHIFT. BRENDAN LUNSFORD, A DRIVER ON B SHIFT. I'M BRANDON GIBSON. I'M A CAPTAIN. JOSHUA TOMPKINS. I'M A FIREFIGHTER, EMT JACOB MILLER, FIREFIGHTER, PARAMEDIC. JOSH LETTERMAN, FIREFIGHTER, EMT DANIEL SHEPHERD, FIREFIGHTER, PARAMEDIC JONATHAN LITTLEFIELD, PARAMEDIC CASEY NASH, ASSISTANT CHIEF OF OPERATIONS. AND BRENDAN'S NOT OUT OF UNIFORM, BY THE WAY. WE'RE LETTING OUR FOLKS WEAR STARS HATS UNTIL WE WIN THE STANLEY CUP. SO GOOD LUCK TONIGHT. SO THANK YOU, MAYOR. I WANT TO HELP ME HOLD IT. AND WE DO HAVE A PROCLAMATION FOR YOU ALL THIS EVENING. WHEREAS ACCESS TO QUALITY EMERGENCY CARE DRAMATICALLY IMPROVES THE SURVIVAL AND RECOVERY RATE OF THOSE WHO EXPERIENCE SUDDEN ILLNESS OR INJURY. AND WHEREAS EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE PROFESSIONALS PROVIDE QUALITY CARE WHENEVER UNFORESEEN ILLNESS, ACCIDENT OR DISASTER STRIKES, MAKING SPLIT SECOND DECISIONS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL IN HELPING TO PREVENT DISABILITY OR DEATH AMONG OUR CITIZENS. AND WHEREAS THE MEMBERS OF WILEY FIRE RESCUE ARE READY TO PROVIDE LIFE SAVING CARE TO THOSE IN NEED 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK IN HOMES. ON THE INCEPTION OF WILEY'S IN-HOUSE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES DIVISION ON OCTOBER 1ST, 2024, AMBULANCE CREWS HAVE MADE 2821 CALLS FOR SERVICE, RESULTING IN 2107 TRANSPORTS, A 75% TRANSPORT RATE. AND WHEREAS THE CITY OF WILEY IS COMMITTED TO RECOGNIZING EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE PROFESSIONALS AND CELEBRATES THEIR UNSELFISH ACTS OF COURAGE IN RESPONDING TO ALL TYPES OF EMERGENCY SITUATIONS 24 HOURS A DAY. NOW, THEREFORE, I, MATTHEW PORTER, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF WILEY, ON BEHALF OF THE WILEY CITY COUNCIL, ON THIS THE 27TH DAY OF MAY, 2025, CALL UPON ALL CITIZENS TO RECOGNIZE THE 18TH DAY OF MAY 2025 THROUGH THE

[00:15:01]

THANK YOU ALL. YOU WANT THAT A BALANCE. FOR THAT? WELL. I THOUGHT I HAD IT UPSIDE DOWN. ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO. 12.13.

[PR3. National Correctional Officers Week.]

NOW HERE IN WILEY OUR CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS ARE REFERRED TO AS DETENTION OFFICERS. WILEY DOES OPERATE A JAIL, NOT A PRISON. THE DISTINCTION BEING JAIL IS TEMPORARY. PRISON IS WHERE SOMEONE WHO IS FOUND GUILTY AND SENTENCED GOES TO SERVE THAT SENTENCE. SO THERE'S A DISTINCTION AND A DIFFERENCE THERE, BUT THEY DO A GREAT JOB OF ENSURING THAT WHEN THE NEED ARISES FOR SOMEONE TO BE BOOKED HERE IN WILEY, THAT THEY ENSURE THE PUBLIC'S SAFETY AS WELL AS THE SAFETY AND THE RIGHTS OF THAT INDIVIDUAL WHO FINDS HIMSELF IN THAT POSITION. AGAIN, WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE TIME THAT YOU GUYS SPEND DOING THAT. I KNOW THAT IT IS OFTEN A VERY DIFFICULT JOB. TYPICALLY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN THAT POSITION, YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT HAVING A GOOD DAY, AND I AM SURE THAT THAT OFTEN COMES OUT IN THE INTERACTIONS THAT OCCUR. BUT HAVING A HIGH LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM AND ENSURING THAT EVERYONE IS TREATED THE RIGHT WAY IS A CENTRAL TENET OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OUR DETENTION OFFICERS, AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU ALL DO, CHIEF WALTERS. I'M ASSISTANT CHIEF WALTERS, AND I WANT TO COMMEND THESE GUYS FOR WHAT THEY DO. NOBODY APPRECIATES WHAT THEY DO MORE THAN THOSE OF US THAT WORKED HERE PRIOR TO HAVING DETENTION STAFF. ONE THING THAT MAYOR DIDN'T SAY IS WE ALSO OPEN OUR JAIL UP TO SOME OF OUR REGIONAL AREA. SO MURPHY, LAVON.

PARKER. JOSEPHINE ROY CITY, FARMERSVILLE AND COLLIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE DISTRICT OUT HERE ARE ALL ALLOWED TO BOOK THEIR PRISONERS INTO OUR JAIL. SO WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE A JAIL, WE WERE HAVING TO TRANSPORT PEOPLE TO STRAIGHT TO COLLIN COUNTY. AND IT WAS A TWO AND A HALF TO THREE HOUR ROUND TRIP. SO FOR 25% OF A POLICE OFFICER'S DAY, THEY WERE TRANSPORTING SOMEBODY TO JAIL. IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THAT MATH TO NOT ADD UP. SO BECAUSE WE'VE OPENED UP OUR DETENTION STAFF OR DETENTION FACILITY TO OTHER AREAS, THOSE OFFICERS AREN'T HAVING TO SPEND 25% OF THEIR SHIFT THERE. NOW WE ARREST SOMEBODY, WE TURN THEM OVER TO DETENTION STAFF, WHERE OFFICERS BACK ON THE STREETS IN 20 MINUTES JUST HAS TO FINISH THEIR PAPERWORK. SINCE OUR DETENTION FACILITY HAS OPENED BACK UP, OUR POPULATION HAS GROWN 47%. THEY ARE ALSO ABLE TO PROCESS IN AND PROCESS OUT. HISTORICALLY, 76% OF ALL PEOPLE THAT COME INTO OUR FACILITY THROUGH ONLINE VIDEO ARRAIGNMENTS TO WHERE FOLKS CAN MAKE BOND AND GET BACK OUT, GET BACK OUT IF IT'S A LOW LEVEL OFFENSE, IF THE 24% THAT ARE HIGHER LEVEL OFFENSE ARE CAN'T GET OUT OF JAIL, THEY HAVE TO BOND OUT THROUGH THE COUNTY. SO IT'S SUCH A TESTAMENT TO THESE GUYS HERE THAT ATTORNEYS KNOW THAT WE CAN SEND OUR CLIENTS TO WILEY TO BE PROCESSED IN AND PROCESSED OUT FASTER THAN THEY CAN AT COLLIN COUNTY. IT'S THE EFFICIENT OPERATION THEY'VE CREATED, AND THAT'S ALL TO THESE GUYS. WE'VE GOT SOME OF OUR SENIOR DETENTION STAFF AND OUR DETENTION MANAGER HERE. I'LL LET THEM INTRODUCE THEMSELVES, BUT I GREATLY APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT Y'ALL DO ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. IT DOESN'T GO UNNOTICED. DETENTION. OFFICER CHILDS, I'VE

[00:20:06]

WELL, WE DO HAVE A PROCLAMATION TO READ THIS EVENING. WHEREAS NATIONAL CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS WEEK WAS FIRST PROCLAIMED MAY 5TH, 1984 BY PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN TO RECOGNIZE THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO WORK IN JAILS, PRISONS AND COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WHEREAS DETENTION OFFICERS, AS THEY ARE KNOWN IN THE CITY OF WILEY, ARE TRAINED LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONALS DEDICATED TO MAINTAINING SAFE CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES AND ENSURING THE PUBLIC'S SAFETY.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, MATTHEW PORTER, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF WILEY, TEXAS, ON BEHALF OF THE WILEY CITY COUNCIL AND CITIZENS OF WILEY, ON THIS 27TH DAY OF MAY 2025, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE FOURTH DAY OF MAY, 2025 THROUGH THE 10TH DAY OF MAY 2025, NATIONAL CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS WEEK IN THE CITY OF WILEY, TEXAS, AND ENCOURAGE ALL CITIZENS TO PUBLICLY SALUTE THE SERVICE OF CORRECTIONS PROFESSIONALS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND TO RECOGNIZE THEIR FAITHFUL AND LOYAL DEDICATION TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AND OUR COMMUNITY.

[00:25:04]

[PR5. Public Works Week]

THAT INCLUDED PLACES LIKE PLANO FOR BOIL WATER. WHY THE REDUNDANT WATER SYSTEMS THAT THEY BUILT AND THE WORK THAT THEY DID IN SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES, BECAUSE CLIMBING INTO A HOLE FILLED WITH WATER, TRYING TO FREEZE WHEN IT'S 20 DEGREES OUT IS NOT PROBABLY ANYBODY'S IDEA OF FUN THAT WOULD BE OUT HERE, BUT THEY WERE OUT THERE DOING THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAINTAINED THE PRESSURE IN OUR SYSTEM SO THAT WE HAD POTABLE WATER. THAT IS A TESTAMENT TO THE WORK THAT THEY DID. THEY WENT AROUND AND HELPED BUSINESSES AND HOMEOWNERS SHUT THAT WATER OFF AFTER SOME OF THESE FREEZES. YES, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF DAMAGE, BUT IT KEEPS IT FROM RUNNING. THEY WERE OUT SANDING THE STREETS. NO, IN A SOUND LIKE WILEY, WE DON'T HAVE A BUNCH OF SNOW PLOWS BECAUSE THERE'S JUST NOT A CALL WITH THE PRICE THAT IT RUNS AND THE DAMAGE THAT IT DOES TO THE STREETS. HOWEVER, THEY STILL GET OUT THERE AND PUT DOWN DIFFERENT SUBSTANCES TO TRY TO MAKE IT AS PASSABLE AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN, AND TO ADVISE US ON OTHER STREET CONDITIONS. WE'VE HAD PLACES WHERE PARTS OF ROADWAYS HAVE FAILED, THEY HAVE GOTTEN THERE AND OFTEN FIXED IT WITHIN THE SAME DAY TO CONTINUE TO ALLOW TRAFFIC. THE WORK AGAIN THAT THEY DO IS ESSENTIAL FOR OUR CITY AND IT IS GREATLY, GREATLY APPRECIATED. MISTER, WE'RE.

TOMMY, WE'RE THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR MAYOR, A LOT OF THINGS THAT YOU SAID I WAS GOING TO SAY. SO I WILL BE VERY SHORT. SO THIRD WEEK OF MAY IS NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK. EVERY YEAR THERE'S A NEW FOCUS, NEW THEME. THIS YEAR'S THEME WAS PEOPLE, PURPOSE AND PRESENCE, WHICH REALLY SHOWCASES, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE DO, WHAT THESE WHAT THESE FOLKS DO REALLY BEHIND THE SCENES, WHETHER IT BE, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE MAYOR SAID, KEEPING THE WATER RUNNING IN THE TAPS, MAKING SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE FLUSH THE TOILETS, IT GOES AWAY. IT DOESN'T BACK UP. AND KEEPING THE PUBLIC GOING, YOU KNOW, ON THE STREETS. BUT ALL THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY MANAGEMENT. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU ALL ALSO, BECAUSE WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND KEEP THINGS GOING THE WAY THAT WE SHOULD BE MAINTAINING OUR OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.

I JUST LIVE DOWN THE STREET AND WOODBRIDGE COMMUNITY, SO MY DOORS ARE ALWAYS OPEN WITH THE OPEN TIME, AND I DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO SPEND TIME WITH MY COMMUNITY AND ALSO AS A STAKEHOLDER OF THE CITY OF WILEY, I DO UNDERSTAND THE, YOU KNOW, TECHNICAL ASPECT, I WOULD SAY, OR THE FEELINGS OR THE NERVES THAT PEOPLE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT HOW WE CAN IMPROVE THE OVERALL, YOU KNOW, VALUES IN THE COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW, JUST TO UNDERSTAND THE OVERALL THE PROCESS. SO MY INTEREST IS TO SERVE, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE KIND OF LIKE CITY LEVEL POSITIONS SO THAT, YOU KNOW, I CAN BE PART OF THE COMMUNITY TO SERVE. RIGHT.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S OUR COMMUNITY. WE LIVE TOGETHER. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'LL BE INCLUSIVE TO ALL OF THE ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, BE A PART OF. OKAY. THANK YOU. SIR. I WANT TO OPEN IT UP TO MY COLLEAGUES TO SEE WHAT QUESTIONS THEY MAY HAVE FOR YOU.

MAYOR PRO TEM. THANK YOU. MAYOR. MR. MUHAMMAD, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE AND FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. THANK YOU. CAN YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT AN EXPERIENCE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AS A PART OF THE WILEY COMMUNITY, ANY OF THE EVENTS THAT WE HAVE DONE? HAVE YOU PARTICIPATED IN ON ANY OF THE EVENTS THAT CITY OF WILEY HAS PUT TOGETHER? YES. SO. NOT SPECIFICALLY CITY WILEY, BUT WHEN THERE WAS A COVID HIT, I WAS PART ONE OF THE CHURCH AND ONE OF THE OLD CARE, YOU KNOW, FACILITY WHERE THEY NEEDED HELP TO ACTUALLY MOVE THEIR LOGISTICS STUFF FROM HERE AND THERE. SO I DID VOLUNTEER OVER THERE. WHEN IT COMES TO CITY OF WILEY, I MEAN, I'M PART OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE I DIDN'T GET ENOUGH OPPORTUNITY TO WORK AS A, YOU KNOW, AS A OPEN TO CITY, CITY LEVEL, I WOULD SAY OPPORTUNITIES. BUT, YOU KNOW, AT THE CITY LEVEL, I DO NOT HAVE, ESPECIALLY CITIZEN WILEY, BUT ON OTHER COMMUNITIES I DID HAVE I USED TO I USED TO LIVE IN PLANO. I LIVE IN RICHARDSON, IN FRISCO AND IN LITTLE ALARM. I USED TO

[01:10:04]

RIGHT? SO OVER THERE, I MEAN, WHENEVER WE GO TO LEGAL DEPARTMENTS TO SOLVE SUCH KIND OF CONFLICTS, I MEAN, I CAN GIVE AN EXAMPLE TO MY JOB THAT WHERE WE HAD TO HAVE OUR, YOU KNOW, RANSOMWARE ATTACK IN THOSE SITUATIONS WE ALWAYS GO AFTER WITH OUR LEGAL TEAMS TO JUST DESCRIBE WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE ISSUE. AND IF WE DON'T DO THIS, WHAT COULD HAPPEN? WHAT'S THE WHAT IS THE THREAT TO OUR PEOPLE OR, YOU KNOW, TO OUR ORGANIZATION AND WHATNOT. SO, YOU KNOW, JOB AT JOB, WE HAVE DIFFERENT KIND OF EXPERIENCE WHEN IT COMES TO COMMUNITY. WE HAVE DIFFERENT KIND OF EXPERIENCE. SO IN IN COMMUNITY, OF COURSE, WE LIVE IN A DIVERSE COMMUNITY. WE DON'T SEE SUCH, YOU KNOW, CONFLICTS WHERE THEY JUST, YOU KNOW, NECK TO NECK.

BUT WE ALWAYS SEE THE ISSUES THAT I GUESS THERE ARE ALWAYS BE RESOLVABLE WITH THE CONSENT OF, YOU KNOW, BOARD MEMBERS OR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. OKAY. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU, MR. MUHAMMAD, FOR BEING WILLING TO SERVE. THANK YOU. A LOT OF PEOPLE AREN'T AND OR DON'T REALIZE IT. AND AS YOU SEE BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED THAT IT'S KIND OF RARE. SO I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. I NOTICED YOU ALSO APPLIED TO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AS WELL AS THE EDC. DO YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE YOURSELF? NOT THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS PICK IT OF ONE, TWO, THREE AS FAR AS THE, YOU KNOW, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS OR, YOU KNOW, ZONING BOARD, BOARD OF REVIEW, BACK, BACK UP. I'M GETTING THEM MIXED UP. THE BOARD OF REVIEW VERSUS THE TWO OTHER TWO THAT YOU APPLIED. YES. SO MY BACKGROUND IS ALSO IN CIVIL ENGINEERING. SO I DO HAVE MY EXPERIENCE WITH CITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING. THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I STEPPED INTO THIS ENGINEERING ROLE THAT I APPLIED FOR. SO I WAS LIKE, I CAN MAYBE I CAN SERVE WITH THIS, THIS SIDE. IF I DON'T GET A CHANCE, THEN OF COURSE I DO HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH CITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING. SO UNDER CIVIL ENGINEERING WE DO STUDY IT AND WE DO GO FOR DIFFERENT PROJECTS WHERE WE HAVE CITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING. SO THE PLANNING STREETS AND LIGHTS OR TRAFFIC RULES AND ALL OF THOSE RULES THAT WE STUDIED IN. SO THAT WAS KIND OF LIKE ONE OF THE INTEREST TO, TO JUST APPLY FOR AND, YOU KNOW, JUST TO, TO GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE FOR. SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT. AWESOME. SO WHICH ONE, WHICH ONE WOULD BE YOUR. OH I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD PLEASE. NO, I DIDN'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT YOU. I THOUGHT YOU WERE STOPPED. I WAS SO WHICH ONE WOULD BE YOUR YOUR NUMBER ONE OUT OF THOSE THREE, I THINK YOU APPLIED WITH THE OTHER ONES. SO APOLOGIES. I HAD MINE OFF, SO I WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK. DID YOU APPLY FOR ANOTHER BOARD OR WAS THAT A DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL? THAT'S THE ONLY YOU ONLY APPLIED FOR THIS BOARD THAT I APPLIED FOR OKAY. YES. SORRY FOR THAT CONFUSION. SO YES. SO YOU WERE NOT VICE PRESIDENT OF YOUR HOA? YES YOU ARE, I AM I AM RIGHT NOW. OKAY. I'VE GOT THOSE TWO. MY APOLOGIES, MY APOLOGIES. THERE'S TWO OF Y'ALL'S NAMES THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY VERY SIMILAR AND I'M MIXING THE TWO UP. SO MY APOLOGIES FOR THAT. THAT'S ALRIGHT. SO YOU'VE NOT APPLIED TO OTHER ONES. THIS IS THE ONLY BOARD THAT YOU APPLIED TO. IS THAT CORRECT. ONLY ONE LINK THAT I APPLIED FOR AND THAT WAS I GUESS STEPHANIE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT. YEAH. THAT WAS MY APOLOGIES FOR THAT. I DIDN'T MEAN TO TAKE YOU DOWN A ROAD THAT DIDN'T GO ON OR TAKE EVERYONE'S TIME. MY SECOND QUESTION, AND, YOU KNOW, IN FINAL QUESTION IS SO BECAUSE ON

[01:15:02]

WELL PUT, WELL PUT. THANK YOU. YEAH. THANK YOU. OKAY. COUNCILMAN PICKENS THANK YOU MAYOR. APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN TO VOLUNTEER TO SERVE. I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU. YES, SIR.

COULD YOU LIST THREE THINGS THAT DROVE YOU TO MOVE TO WILEY? YES. NUMBER ONE, EDUCATION SCHOOL.

YOU SAID THREE THINGS THAT I MOVED. WILEY. YEAH, THREE THINGS THAT THAT YOU MOVED WILEY. FOR NO CRIME OR LEAST CRIME RATE EDUCATION. SCHOOLS ARE VERY GOOD. AND THE THIRD THING IS THAT, YOU KNOW, I, I MEAN, THIS IS I KNOW THIS IS A LEAST, YOU KNOW, APPRECIATED REASON, BUT I USED TO COME TO BUY MY FOOD FROM MY CHICKENS, FOOD FROM THIS TRACTOR TROLLEY PLACE. AND THERE WAS A NEW HOUSE BUILT IN AREA. I USED TO LIVE IN AN APARTMENT OVER THERE. SO MY WIFE AND WE WERE OVER HERE AND SHE SAID, HEY, YOU KNOW, LET'S JUST CHECK OUT THESE HOUSES BECAUSE I KNOW THE WILEY SCHOOLS ARE VERY GOOD. THERE IS NO CRIME RATE. AND WE JUST WANT TO, YOU KNOW, JUST MOVE TO A PLACE WHERE WE CAN GROW OUR KIDS. SO THAT'S WHY, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS THIRD REASON THAT, OKAY. YOU KNOW, WE STARTED LOOKING INTO THIS PLACE. THAT'S HOW WE WERE BEFORE WE USED TO LIVE IN RICHARDSON. IT WAS KIND OF LIKE FAR FROM ME THAT, YOU KNOW, BUT ONCE WE STEPPED IN. SO WE DECIDED TO LIVE IN THE AREA THAT'S CLOSER TO MURPHY AND THE STATE HIGHWAY. SO THESE THREE REASONS, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, CRIME AND EDUCATION WAS TOP PRIORITY BECAUSE THE WILEY SCHOOL, THEY WERE GOOD. OKAY. THE THIRD WORD IN YOUR PARAGRAPH THAT ABOUT YOURSELF IS THAT YOU'RE A DEDICATED RESIDENT OF WILEY. SO YOU'VE BEEN HERE, I BELIEVE, THREE YEARS. I MOVED LATE 21, BUT WE FULLY MOVED IN 2022. YES. ALL RIGHT. SO IN THE THREE YEARS YOU'VE BEEN HERE, WHAT CAN YOU LIST THAT WOULD SHOW OTHERS THAT YOU'RE DEDICATED TO THIS CITY? YES. SO WE HAD JUST OUR EVENT JUST I GUESS A WEEK AGO TO FOR OUR VETERANS IN THE, IN THE CITY VALLEY PARK. AND ALSO I MEAN, I'M PART OF THE, YOU KNOW, OF THE COMMUNITY THAT ACTUALLY DRIVES ME TO BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY SO THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, HELP AT A LARGER LEVEL.

AND ALSO, I'M CONNECTED TO ONE OF THE CHURCH ON THIS STREET THAT I HAVE MY NAME OVER THERE TO HELP THE COMMUNITY. SO I HELP ALL PEOPLE. SOMETIMES THEY NEED RIDES. I JUST GO AND HELP THEM TO MOVE AROUND. SO, YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO HELP. I'M NOT AT THAT EXTENT THAT I'M FULLY, YOU KNOW, 100% INVOLVED INTO THE ACTIVITY. BUT I'M TRYING WHEREVER, YOU KNOW, I'M OPEN TO ANYONE, WHEREVER THEY NEED HELP, I'LL JUST GO AND HELP THEM OUT. YOU KNOW, IT'S SO KIND OF LIKE I'M STEPPING IN AND MOVING FORWARD. THANK YOU. YEAH. THANK YOU. OKAY. COUNCILMAN DUKE.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR THANK YOU, SIR, FOR YOUR INTEREST IN SERVING. IT'S GREATLY APPRECIATED. WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS THE ROLE OF THE BOARD YOU'RE APPLYING FOR? WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE? WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE? THE ROLE OF THIS BOARD IS THE BOARD OF REVIEW. SO IT'S ABOUT ALL ABOUT ADVICE ON ON THE ON THE DIFFERENT CONFLICTS AND VIOLATIONS THAT COULD HAPPEN WITHIN THE CITY INFRASTRUCTURE. WHEN I SAY INFRASTRUCTURE MEANS EMPLOYEES AND ESPECIALLY THE CONFLICTS THAT, YOU KNOW, ANYONE THAT'S A CITY EMPLOYEE CAN BRING TO THE PLACE. SO I THINK I'LL BE THE PART OF THE TEAM TO ACTUALLY HELP ADVISE YOU TO RESOLVE THOSE ISSUES, NOT ENFORCE. THAT'S NOT MY DUTY JUST TO ADVISE THEM, OKAY. AND HOW WOULD YOU HANDLE A SITUATION WHERE YOU NOTICE A COUNCIL MEMBER MADE A DECISION UP HERE ON THE DAIS THAT COULD FINANCIALLY BENEFIT THEMSELVES

[01:20:07]

THANK YOU I'M GOOD. RIGHT. YES. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH OKAY. AND I BELIEVE, MISS STORM, YOU SAID JAMES COOK WOULD BE HERE AT THE NEXT MEETING, SO THAT'S CORRECT. SO WE'LL MOVE TO PETE MACIAS. I APOLOGIZE IF I GOT THE NAME WRONG. THAT'S RIGHT. RIGHT. IT'S MATH. YAS, YAS. YEP. THE LONG E EVERYTHING IS FAIR ENOUGH. PETE. MAZIARZ. SO THANK YOU FOR COMING THIS EVENING, SIR. AND FOR YOUR INTEREST IN SERVING. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE OUR YOUR APPLICATION IN FRONT OF US, BUT AS I STATED IN THE PRIOR ONE, I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY YOU WOULD LIKE TO SERVE ON THE BOARD OF REVIEW AND WHAT YOU THINK YOU KIND OF BRING TO IT YOURSELF, FROM EITHER WORK EXPERIENCE OR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. APPRECIATE THAT. I MAY BE A LITTLE BIT HARD TO UNDERSTAND, BUT I'LL TRY. I, I LIVED IN ILLINOIS FOR 28 YEAR, AND I GOT DIVORCED AND I MOVED OUT TO AURORA, ILLINOIS. I SAT ON A COMMUNITY BOARD FOR THE FOR THE FOR THE DISTRICT FOR 13 YEARS. SAME ALDERMAN. AND BASICALLY WE DEALT WITH THE STREETS AND BUILDINGS, PROBLEMATIC PROBLEMS. AND I ENJOYED BEING ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE. OKAY. I GREW UP IN WACO AND I CAME BACK TO TEXAS TO KIND OF RETURN. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND I WANT TO OPEN IT UP TO MY COLLEAGUES SINCE I KIND OF KICK IT OFF WITH THAT. AND I KNOW OUR MAYOR PRO TEM PROBABLY HAS A QUESTION OR TWO FOR YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM. MISTER PETE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING AND WILLING TO SERVE ON THE BOARD AND WANTING TO BE A PART OF DECISION MAKING HERE IN WYLIE. SAME QUESTIONS THAT I ASKED THE PREVIOUS CANDIDATE.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH WYLIE ACTIVITIES AND HOW INVOLVED HAVE YOU BEEN SINCE YOU MOVED HERE IN PAST FOUR YEARS? WELL, I TRY TO GET OUT TO AS MANY. AS I SAID, I'M TRYING TO RETIRE. YEAH, I HAVEN'T MADE IT YET, BUT I'M STILL WORKING AT IT. I CAN'T STAY HOME. DON'T WE WORK ALL OUR LIVES? WE WORK TOWARDS THAT. I'VE GOT THREE TEENAGERS AT HOME, MY WIFE AND NOW MY MOTHER IN LAW. SO I'VE GOT TO STAY WORKING THE THEY STILL WYLIE. I'VE BEEN FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. AND BHUWAN BALLARD AND BASICALLY JUST TRYING TO INVOLVE MYSELF IN COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, AND INVOLVE THE FAMILY AND INVOLVE MYSELF. AND THEN MY SECOND QUESTION WOULD BE, OBVIOUSLY, YOU'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD. YOU SERVED ON THE ILLINOIS, THE BOARD THAT YOU SERVED THERE FOR 13 YEARS, IF I'M CORRECT. YEAH. CITY OF AURORA, CONFLICT RESOLUTION ON

[01:25:05]

UNDERSTANDING SOME OF THE INTEGRITY AND THINGS THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THE CITY. CAN YOU SPECIFICALLY REMEMBER ANY OF THE ISSUES THAT MIGHT HAVE ARISEN ON THOSE 13 YEARS DURING YOUR TIME ON THAT BOARD? WELL, DEALING WITH THE CITY, HAVING CONFLICTS, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. THE WORD THAT WE WERE IN, WE USED TO HAVE PROBLEM ISSUES WITH PROPERTIES, DRUG ISSUES WITH PROPERTIES, VACANT ISSUES WITH PROPERTIES. AND ILLINOIS DOES HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A VAGRANT PROBLEM. BUT WE LIVED ON THE RIVER AND A LOT OF THEM WERE LIVING IN FORESTS OVER THERE. PROBLEMS THAT WE HAD WERE BUYING. THE WARD COMMITTEE WOULD BUY THE PROPER PROPERTIES. ONCE THEY CAME UP, THEY GOT CLEANED OUT AND THEY TURNED THEM INTO PARKS. SO WE HAD SMALL COMMUNITY PARKS INSTEAD OF DRUG HOUSES.

THINGS LIKE THAT. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TONIGHT. OKAY. I'D LIKE TO OPEN IT UP. COUNCIL FOR OTHER QUESTIONS FROM OTHER INDIVIDUALS. I CAN SEE COUNCILMAN PICKENS LEANING FORWARD, SO I'LL TURN IT TO COUNCILMAN PICKENS. HELLO. FIRST, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I THINK YOU'VE ANSWERED MY FIRST QUESTION. YOU SAID THAT YOU GREW UP IN WACO. IS THAT RIGHT? YES, SIR. UNTIL 17. AND THEN JOINED THE ARMY. AND THEN YOU JOINED THE ARMY AFTER THEN I WENT OUT TO SEE THE WORLD. THEY SENT ME INTO EL PASO. I UNDERSTAND. SO YOU CAME BACK TO TEXAS, WHICH IS A GOOD THING, I LOVE TEXAS. WHAT? WHAT? IT'S MY ARGUMENT. WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO WILEY? WELL, ORIGINALLY WE WERE LOOKING AT. I WANTED TO COME BACK, AND MY WIFE'S IN CALIFORNIA, SO HAD TO TALK HER INTO IT. WHEN WE CAME BACK, WE WERE LOOKING AT ANNA AND WE HAD SOME PROPERTIES OUT THERE THAT WERE OVERVALUING THEMSELVES. AND THE VA SAYS, NO, NO. AND SO WE STARTED LOOKING AROUND. WE LIVED IN PLANO AT A HOTEL FOR A MONTH, LOOKING AT HOUSES, I'M SORRY, LOOKING AT HOUSES. AND WE FOUND WILEY. WE'RE LOOKING AT MURPHY AND SEXY AND ALL THAT. WE FOUND WILEY AND WE LIKED IT. SO WE JUST WANDERED AROUND SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND TURNED OUT THAT WE MOVED INTO A 20 YEAR OLD PROPERTY AND GREAT NEIGHBORS. AND IT'S QUIET. IT'S, YOU KNOW, KIDS PLAYING IN THE STREETS AND PEOPLE WALKING, AND IT JUST FEELS LIKE HOME, LIKE IT DID BACK IN WACO. I UNDERSTAND THAT. DO YOU PLAN ON STAYING HERE, WILEY? DELIVER ME. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YEP. OKAY. I WILL ASK, DO YOU HAVE A UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOARD OF REVIEWS FUNCTION? I KNOW NO, WE'RE REPEATING OURSELVES AND IT KIND OF BECOMES REDUNDANT. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FUNCTION IS OF THAT BOARD. BASICALLY, WE'RE LOOKING AT CONFLICT RESOLUTION. YEAH. CONFLICT RESOLUTION IN THE IN THE INSTANCE THAT AN A PERCEIVED ETHICS VIOLATION IS BROUGHT FORWARD FOR REVIEW AND TO BE CORRECTED. YES. OBVIOUSLY THE BOARD'S JOB IS TO REVIEW IF IT IS IN FACT AN ETHICS VIOLATION BY A MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL OR A MEMBER OF A DIFFERENT BOARD, POTENTIALLY WITHIN THE CITY. JUST CALLING A SPADE A SPADE. YEP, EXACTLY. OKAY. I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR YOU THIS EVENING.

SO I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. AND THANK YOU FOR COMING AND BEING PATIENT WITH US. I KNOW IT'S A LONGER EVENING TONIGHT. IT'S ENJOYABLE. THANKS. THANK YOU SIR. OKAY. AND NEXT I HAVE MR. NASSER MOHAMMED. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. GOOD EVENING SIR. I'LL START YOU OFF THE SAME WAY THAT I DO EVERYBODY ELSE, GIVING YOU AN OPPORTUNITY

[01:30:05]

THANK YOU. I'M NASSER MUHAMMAD, I, I USED TO BE BASED OUT OF TEXAS, AND THEN I MOVED BACK TO KANSAS FOR WORK REASONS. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, MY FAMILY, I HAVE A LOT OF FAMILY HERE. SO THEY BROUGHT ME DOWN AGAIN. SO I MOVED BACK IN 2019. SINCE THEN, I'VE BEEN IN WILEY, OKAY. WHEN I WAS HERE BEFORE I WAS IN RICHARDSON, RICHARDSON BACK IN 2000 789. BUT I, I LOVE TEXAS, I HAPPEN TO BE THERE IN KANSAS FOR, FOR WORK REASONS FROM FROM THE ENVIRONMENT PERSPECTIVE.

IT'S SIMILAR ENVIRONMENT FOR ME WHERE I'M MORE OF AN OUTGOING, NATURE LOVING PERSON. SO THE, THE, THE FEEL OF WILEY BRINGS ME BACK HERE. I LIKE THE ENVIRONMENT. I LIKE THE, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE NATURE. YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT LIKE THE URBAN CITY LIFE. IT'S GROWING, YOU KNOW. BUT, YOU KNOW, I STILL LIKE THE, THE SUBURB FEELING OF IT WORK WISE.

I, I'M INTO IT MANAGEMENT. I STARTED OFF WITH CONSULTING AND THEN I GREW WITH MY I, I CLIMBED THE CORPORATE LADDER. SO I'M A SERVICE DELIVERY MANAGER AT THE FIRM THAT I WORK FOR. I MANAGE A COUPLE CLIENTS. I COME FROM A MANAGEMENT BACKGROUND AND I, I'M ACTUALLY PURSUING MY MBA IN PARALLEL. SO OKAY. AND FAMILY WISE, THREE KIDS, ALL OF THEM GO TO THE CITY OF WILEY. ACTUALLY THE WITH YOUNGER ONES. SHE SHE WILL START THIS YEAR. SHE'S FOUR YEAR OLD. AND YOU KNOW FROM THE I HEARD OF A COMMON QUESTION WHAT CITY OF WILEY ACTIVITIES THAT YOU LOOK OUT FOR. I JUST SAVING SOME TIME. YEAH. THERE WAS A RADIO SHOW LAST YEAR. WE VISITED THAT IT WAS GREAT FUN WITH THE KIDS. WE THE LIBRARY ACROSS. YOU KNOW, MY KIDS ARE REGULAR HERE. WE COME BACK HERE EVERY WEEK. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF ACTIVITIES IN THE ARTS AND CULTURE EVENTS. YOU KNOW, I HAPPEN TO GO THERE AS WELL, YOU KNOW, GREAT FUN. YOU KNOW WHAT? WE AS A FAMILY, WE TRY TO DO WHATEVER WE COULD DO WITH THE KIDS. I MEAN, WHY NOT DO IT WITH CITY OFFERS, RIGHT? SO MAKES SENSE. WELL, MAYOR PRO TEM, I KNOW HE ANSWERED YOUR FIRST QUESTION WITHOUT NEEDING A PROMPT THERE. I KNOW YOU HAVE TWO, SO I'LL LET YOU. I'LL TURN IT TO YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU.

MAYOR. MR. MUHAMMAD, THANK YOU FOR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE AND BEING HERE WITH US TONIGHT. I APPRECIATE YOU ANSWERING MY FIRST QUESTION. I'LL ASK THE SECOND QUESTION AND I'LL ADD A FOLLOW UP. I'LL STEAL A LINE FROM COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. YOU DID APPLY FOR MULTIPLE BOARD POSITIONS. UNFORTUNATELY. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT YOU DO NOT QUALIFY FOR A COUPLE OF THOSE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT A REGISTERED VOTER. PART OF CITIZEN OF WILEY, OR REGISTERED VOTER IN THE CITY OF WILEY. BUT YOU DO QUALIFY FOR THE BOARD OF REVIEW. I GUESS THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST QUESTION. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT CONFLICT RESOLUTIONS, BEING THAT YOU'VE BEEN LIVING HERE FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, AND THE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAVE ONE, ON HOW YOU RESOLVE A SPECIFIC ISSUE OR CONFLICT? SURE. AND THAT'S MY DAY IN, DAY OUT, OUT OF THE WORK. I, I COME FROM A DELIVERY BACKGROUND, SO I HAVE ABOUT 15 FOLKS THAT ARE ON MY TEAM AND THEY ONSHORE. AND I ALSO HAVE AN OFFSHORE TEAM OF ABOUT 60. SO THAT'S A PRETTY BIG SIZE OF TEAM THAT I MANAGE ACROSS. SO CONFLICTS IN THE RESOLUTION AND HOW WE MANAGE THIS IS, IS, YOU KNOW, PART OF MY WORK EVERY DAY. SO. TO GIVE OUT SPECIFIC EXAMPLES, YOU KNOW I CAN. THERE WAS JUST LAST WEEK THERE WAS A MY AREA OF WORK IS SAP. THERE WAS AA0 DAY VULNERABILITY THAT GOT RELEASED.

AND, YOU KNOW, JUST BETWEEN MY FOLKS IN THE TEAM, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A BIG ARGUMENT BETWEEN THE TWO FOLKS WHETHER OR NOT SHOULD WE RESOLVE THIS, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE RESOLVE THIS AND THE APPROACH? SO, YOU KNOW, MY STAND ON THIS IS YOU HEAR EVERYBODY'S AND THEN YOU TAKE A CONSENSUS FROM THE TEAM, WHICH ONE, WHICH ONE, WHICH OF THOSE APPROACHES WOULD, WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE AND WHICH IS MORE RESILIENT. AND, YOU KNOW, THE PATH OF MINIMAL DISRUPTION. SO,

[01:35:03]

THAT'S A DAY IN, DAY OUT FOR, YOU KNOW, FROM A FROM AN IT COMPLIANCE PERSPECTIVE, BUT APPLYING THE SAME SAME CORRELATING THAT TO, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE STANDARDS SET ACROSS FOR ANYTHING THAT WE DO. RIGHT. YEAH. WHETHER EVEN EVEN FROM A CITY PERSPECTIVE, THERE ARE CODE OF ETHICS AND CODE OF CONDUCT FOR ANY, ANY, ANY, ANY ISSUE, YOU KNOW, KNOWING THE, THE COMPLIANCE IS THE IS THE PRIORITY ONE. THEN, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ACT AND WE ARE WITHIN THE REALM OF COMPLIANCE WOULD BE THE LOGICAL STEP. SO THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE THAT OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THIS EVENING. IT'S THE UNFORTUNATENESS OF GOING FIRST. YOU OFTEN GET A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS THAT THEN EVERYONE ELSE CAN KIND OF ANSWER ALONG THE WAY. BUT COUNCILMAN DUKE DOES HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

YES. THANK YOU, MR. MUHAMMAD, FOR YOUR INTEREST IN SERVING THE CITY. APPRECIATES YOUR SERVICE.

IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS THE ROLE OF THE BOARD OF REVIEW? SORRY I DIDN'T CATCH THE LAST PART. IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS THE ROLE OF THE BOARD OF REVIEW? SURE I WAS, I WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO LOOK UP THE INFORMATION BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW, TO BE HONEST, I WAS TRYING TO SEE THE THERE IS AN ORDINANCE THAT'S PASSED BY THE, THE CITY AND THEN THE REVIEW STANDARD IS PER THE ORDINANCE, WHICH WAS 2022 OR 2024, I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY, BUT AND THERE ARE A SET OF REGULATIONS THAT ON HOW THE CITY RECEIVES THE COMPLAINTS, YOU KNOW THAT. AND THEN REVIEWING THOSE COMPLAINTS, THERE IS A RULE SET WHICH IS PUT ACROSS ON, YOU KNOW, HOW TO HANDLE THOSE COMPLAINTS. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, AN INTERNAL REVIEW. AND THEN THERE'S A. AFTER THE REVIEW, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY THE CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND THEN THE, THE, THE RESOLUTION THAT GETS PASSED. SO TO ME IT'S, IT'S HOW THE CITY RECEIVES THE COMPLAINTS AND THEN REVIEWS THEM ACROSS WITH THE, WITH THE, WITH THE, WITH THE BOARD. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE OF THE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. NO MORE QUESTIONS OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THIS EVENING OKAY. THAT LOOKS LIKE IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. OKAY. AND, MISS STORM, I BELIEVE YOU SAID MR. TIMMONS HAD WITHDRAWN OR OR WAS COMING. NEXT MEETING. NEXT MEETING. AND MR. TIP, WAS IT MR. TIPTON? ALL RIGHT, SO AS MR. BRYANT TIP TIPTON HERE. OKAY. IF YOU'LL COME DOWN, SIR. SORRY. JUST TRYING TO GO DOWN THE LIST AND MAKE SURE I DON'T MISS ANYONE WHO'S HERE AND WAITED THIS EVENING. I TOLD HER THAT I MAY NOT LIKE I JUST FLEW IN FROM CHICAGO. ARE. AND IF ANYBODY'S COMING FROM CHICAGO AND IT'S THREATENED TO RAIN. YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS UP AGAINST? SO ANYWAY, IT'S NOT JUST CHICAGO THESE DAYS. YEAH, I'LL LEAVE IT THERE, SINCE THAT'S NOT THE. THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.

THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR. DON'T GET ME STARTED. BUT AGAIN, IF YOU'LL START OUT JUST TELLING US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY YOU'RE INTERESTED AND WHAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE, PERSONAL OR PROFESSIONAL, YOU THINK YOU BRING TO THE BOARD. SO I'VE LIVED IN WILEY FOR YEARS WITH MY

[01:40:05]

I'D BEEN TO WILEY WHEN I GOT MY FIRST COVID SHOT, AND I THOUGHT, THIS IS PRETTY NICE PLACE. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS. SO WHEN MY REALTOR SAID, HEY, WE GOT A HOUSE IN WILEY, I'M LIKE, SURE, WHY NOT? HAD A POOL TOO. SO THAT'S COOL. AND SO WE CAME OUT AND WE SAW IT. AND, YOU KNOW, I CAME FROM A TOWN THAT'S KIND OF LIKE WILEY, WHERE IT'S ONE FOOT IN THE CITY AND ONE FOOT IN RURAL. AND I LIKE THAT. I LIKE THE LAKE LIFE. I LIKE ALL THAT. IT'S THE CLOSEST I COULD GET MY WIFE TO THE LAKE. SHE HATES WATER, SO IT'S COMPROMISE. BUT SINCE WE'VE COME HERE, WE'VE WE'VE REALLY ENJOYED IT. YOU KNOW, THE OTHER GENTLEMAN MENTIONED THE CRIME RATE. THE CRIME RATE IS REALLY GOOD. AND WE GO TO ALL THE EVENTS WE CAN LIKE THE BLUES AND, AND TRY TO BUY LOCAL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, GET MY HAIR CUT LOCAL HERE AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON ME. I'VE BEEN IN IT SERVICES LIKE THE OTHER GUYS FOR A BETTER PART OF 30 YEARS.

LAST 25 YEARS HAVE BEEN IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS. CURRENTLY I'M A VICE PRESIDENT OVER OUR TOOLS AND AUTOMATION TEAM, AND BASICALLY WE DO ALL THE SOFTWARE CONTRACTS AND SUPPORT THE PRODUCTS THAT HELP OUR TEAMS MANAGE OUR CLIENTS INFRASTRUCTURE, NETWORKS, ROUTERS, SWITCHES, STORAGE, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. SO I HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE READING CONTRACTS AND THAT KIND OF STUFF. AND I'VE WORKED ALL OVER. I'VE WORKED IN MALAYSIA FOR FOUR YEARS. I WORKED IN AUSTRALIA FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. I WORKED IN EUROPE FOR ABOUT A HALF A YEAR ON PROJECTS IN VARIOUS. SO THROUGH THAT, I'VE LEARNED A LOT OF THE CONFLICT RESOLUTION YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT. AND FROM MY EXPERIENCE, IT ALWAYS STARTS WITH, YOU KNOW, GROUNDING THE PERSON. YOU'RE THE ISSUE. BE HONEST WITH THEM, GET ALL THE INFORMATION, UNDERSTAND YOU KNOW WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM, OKAY. AND THEN IF IT HAS TO YOU GOT TO ESCALATE IT. YOU GOT TO TAKE IT TO LEGAL AND LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY. SO OKAY, MAYOR PRO TEM, I KNOW HE KIND OF ADDRESSED THE FIRST ONE. AGAIN, I THINK HE ADDRESSED BOTH OF THEM. BUT A LITTLE BIT OF THE SECOND. YEAH, A LITTLE BIT OF THE SECOND. BRIAN, THANKS FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT WITH US.

THANKS FOR WILLING TO SERVE. APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR TIME AND ENTHUSIASM. OBVIOUSLY YOUR CURRENT OCCUPATION IS VICE PRESIDENT, SO YOU MUST HAVE A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, SPECIFIC DEALINGS WITH DIFFERENT ISSUES AND COMPLIANCE ISSUES AND ALL THAT. YEAH. CAN YOU RECALL ANY SPECIFICS ON HOW YOU HANDLED ONE OF THE. WELL, YEAH, WE HAVE A CONTRACT RECENTLY AND FOR SOME REASON, YOU KNOW, WE BID IT FOR OFFSHORE, BUT IT'S A GOVERNMENT CONTRACT. SO IT ALL HAS TO BE ONSHORE. AND SO WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH THE DEAL I WAS LIKE I GOT TO HIRE THESE PEOPLE ONSHORE. I CAN'T HIRE THEM OFFSHORE. SO THAT THAT'S TYPICALLY WHAT WE RUN INTO. I GET A LOT OF PERSONNEL ISSUES, BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST THE DAY IN AND DAY OUT OF THE JOB AND YOU JUST GOT TO TALK TO THEM AND BE HONEST AND VERY FRANK WITH THEM. OKAY. APPRECIATE IT.

YEAH. ANYTHING ELSE? NO, SIR. I'M GOOD. OKAY. COUNCIL, DO WE HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR COMING. I WOULD ASK THE SAME QUESTION AS FAR AS ETHICS.

IF YOU'RE PRESENTED WITH A ETHICS CASE, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO ASSESS THAT CASE? WHAT GAUGES ARE YOU GOING TO USE TO. YEAH. YOU JUST YOU GOT TO GET ALL THE INFORMATION RIGHT. THAT'S FIRST AND FOREMOST. RIGHT. UNDERSTAND THE BASIS TO WHAT ARE THE RULES, WHAT ARE THE PROCESSES. THE LAW.

SO THEN YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF LEVEL SET AND SAY FROM MY VIEW, YEAH, THIS WAS A BREACH OF ETHICS AFTER REVIEWING ALL THE DATA. AND THEN YOU LIKE I SAID LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY. THANK YOU. I KNOW YOU HIT THAT IN YOUR FIRST STATEMENT, BUT I WAS WANTING TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO EXPAND EXPOUND ON IT. SO THANK YOU. YEAH. AND YOU KNOW THE SAD THING ABOUT ETHICS, I'LL KIND OF GO OFF SCRIPT HERE A LITTLE BIT IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. AND SO IT'S REALLY, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO BE GROUNDED IN THE RIGHT WAY. OTHERWISE YOUR ETHICS, YOUR COMPASS COULD TAKE YOU OFF THE FIELD. SO ANYWAY, SO THANK YOU. AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD POINT FOR I THINK EVERYONE IS STILL HERE WHO HAS INTERVIEWED SO FAR. AND THAT'S TO YOUR POINT, MAKING SURE THAT YOU REVIEW IT AGAINST THE STANDARDS THAT ARE THAT ARE SET IN PLACE BECAUSE TO YOUR POINT, WELL, I PROBABLY HAVE STRONG OPINIONS ABOUT WHAT IS ETHICAL OR ISN'T. AND EVERYONE THAT'S IN THIS ROOM, I WOULD ASSUME DOES AS WELL. THEY MAY EXACTLY THE SAME ON EVERY INDIVIDUAL SUBJECT. AND THAT'S TO YOUR POINT AND TO SEVERAL OF OUR OTHER INTERVIEWEES THIS EVENING, YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE SOURCE, LOOK AT THE STANDARD THAT SOMEONE IS BEING HELD TO, AND ENSURE THAT YOU'RE HOLDING EVERYONE EQUALLY TO THE SAME STANDARD AND TAKE YOUR BIAS OUT,

[01:45:05]

YES. THANK YOU. MR. HE'S ALWAYS GOT THE HARD ONES. ALL RIGHT. I GOT A LIST, BUT I'M TRYING TO STICK WITH THE SAME ONES. OKAY. SO WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS THE ROLE OF THE BOARD OF REVIEW? WELL, YOU KNOW, IT LOOKS LIKE FROM WHAT I'VE READ, IT ISN'T WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE HERE. IT'S MORE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE. THERE'S WHAT I'VE HEARD HERE AT THE MEETING IS IF SOMEONE ACCUSES ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS OF COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT THEY'VE DONE SOMETHING UNETHICAL, WE'VE GOT TO INVESTIGATE IT. OR IF THERE'S SOME KIND OF, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT AN INTEREST IN A ROAD PROJECT THAT YOU GREENLIT, WE GOT TO LOOK AT IT. SO WE'RE ALL ABOVE BOARD AND THE PEOPLE AREN'T, AREN'T SEEING CONSPIRACY THEORIES, LET ME PUT IT THAT WAY. SO BUT YEAH, IT'S JUST TO REVIEW THOSE KIND OF THINGS, RIGHT? YES. I HAD A QUESTION FOR YOU. I MEAN, HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU HAVE WHEN YOU INVEST IN THIS BOARD AND OTHER BOARDS? HOW MUCH TIME DOES THAT USUALLY TAKE. SO I'LL, I'LL ANSWER THAT. EACH BOARD IS VERY DIFFERENT. YEAH I CAN TELL YOU FOR INSTANCE, PLANNING AND ZONING AND OUR EDC IS A LARGE TIME COMMITMENT. OUR PUBLIC ARTS VOLUNTEER OR THEY'RE EXPECTED TO VOLUNTEER AT ALL OF THE EVENTS, WHICH MEANS LONG HOURS 4 OR 5 TIMES A YEAR PLUS SETUP. SO EACH ONE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT. THE BOARD OF REVIEW, TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST, WE HOPE FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. YEAH, THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO MEAN IT IS AS NEEDED WHEN THERE IS A COMPLAINT THAT AS OUR PROCESS LAYS OUT, GOES TO HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DID YOU HAVE? I DON'T HEAR ZERO THAT I'M AWARE. ZERO. YEAH. OKAY. I WANTED TO VERIFY BECAUSE THEY DON'T NECESSARILY COME TO THE COUNCIL, WHICH IS ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, HOLD ON. I WANT TO MAKE SURE I DON'T MISSPEAK. NO, NO. I BELIEVE THE LAST TIME THIS BOARD MET WAS IN 2019 OR 2020. WOW. SO WE DON'T OKAY. AGAIN, OUR HOPE IS WE'RE ALL THAT. EVERYONE IS REMAINING ETHICAL, BUT WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT THAT YOU SHOULD ONLY REVIEW YOURSELF IF THAT MAKES SENSE. IF THERE IS A CONCERN YOU SHOULD HAVE, IT SHOULDN'T BE YOUR COLLEAGUES WHO ARE PASSING JUDGMENT IN THE OPINION OF THE COUNCIL, WHO MADE SURE FIRST THAT ONE WAS PUT IN PLACE, AND THEN THE REVAMPED VERSION AFTERWARDS. SO IT'S NOT A VERY ACTIVE BOARD, BUT WHEN IT DOES, WHEN IT DOES GET CALLED, IT IS.

YEAH. I WAS GONNA SAY IT'S IMPORTANT AND I COULDN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY DAYS IT'S GOING TO BE. IT'S GOING TO BE THE ATTORNEY HAS THE OUTSIDE ATTORNEY THAT IT GOES TO HAS SAID, Y'ALL NEED TO MAKE A JUDGMENT CALL BECAUSE IF TRUE, IT COULD BE IT COULD BE A VIOLATION. AND THEN IT WOULD COME TO YOU ALL TO DETERMINE THAT. AND THAT'S OUTSIDE COUNSEL DOESN'T TOUCH THAT. THAT WOULD BE THAT BOARD ON ITS OWN ALONG WITH, YOU KNOW, POTENTIAL LEGAL ADVICE. AND DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS, I MEAN, IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT'S BLACK AND WHITE, EASILY RESOLVED. THEN YOU GUYS SAY, YEP, HERE'S A TAKE THIS DOWN. DON'T DO THIS.

WHATEVER. IT COULD BE LARGER AND SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS REFER THROUGH THE PROCESS. SO I HESITATE TO SAY THAT WHAT HOW MUCH TIME. BUT IT VARIES. YEAH TYPICALLY IT DOESN'T TYPICALLY WE HAVEN'T NEEDED. YEAH THE BOARD TO CONVENE. BUT IF IT DOES IT COULD BE A TIME SINK FOR A WEEK OR TWO. GOOD JOB EVERYONE. SO ACTUALLY YOU NEVER USE IT. GOOD JOB. WELL WE HAVE A LOT OF BOARD MEMBERS TOO SO WE APPRECIATE ALL THAT THEY DO. IT'S NOT JUST US SEVEN BUT DOES THAT ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR YOU? YES IT DOES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT COUNCIL ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR US. ALL RIGHT. WELL I ALREADY ANSWERED THE ONE ABOUT WHEN YOU WOULD KNOW. SO IT'S LIKE NEXT WEEK OR WHATEVER. WE'LL MEET AGAIN. IS IT TWO WEEKS OKAY. IT'S THE SECOND AND FOURTH TUESDAY. AND OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WAS 2 OR 3 WEEKS. AND THEN YOU SELECT OH, IT'LL BE JUNE 11TH, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11TH.

OKAY. AND THEN WE'LL DO THE REST OF OUR INTERVIEWS. AND I BELIEVE AT THAT POINT WE'LL THEN MAKE A MOTION ALL PUBLICLY AS A COUNCIL FOR THE POSITIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE. I BELIEVE THERE'S TWO POSITIONS. AND THEN TWO ALTERNATES. AND THERE MAY END UP BEING AN ADDITIONAL. BUT THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS ITEM. THE WHOLE BOARD QUIT. NO. WE HAVE SOME ALTERNATE POSITIONS AND BOTH OF THE ALTERNATES ARE UP THIS YEAR. OKAY. AND SO THOSE POSITIONS AS I MENTIONED, IF SOMEONE'S TRAVELING SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN ETHICS COMPLAINT. TAKE TWO, THREE, 4 OR

[01:50:03]

OKAY. THE NEXT ONE ON OUR LIST WAS MISS VALERIE WARRIOR. BUT I KNOW IT STATES HERE.

UNFORTUNATELY, SHE LIVES OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS. WHICH BY THE BOARDS. CONSTRUCTS, MAKES YOU INELIGIBLE TO SERVE. AND THEN IS MANDY WILSON COMING AT THE NEXT MEETING OR HERE TONIGHT? I DON'T THINK SO. OKAY. SO WE CAN REACH OUT AND SEE IF SHE'S ABLE TO ATTEND OUR NEXT MEETING. I BELIEVE I HAVE CALLED ALL APPLICANTS WHO WERE HERE THIS EVENING. IS ANYONE ELSE PRESENT WHO I SKIPPED OVER BUT ENDED UP WALKING IN FOR TONIGHT? OKAY, I APPRECIATE EVERYONE COMING IN THIS EVENING. WE WILL CONDUCT OUR COMPLETED INTERVIEWS OR OUR REMAINING INTERVIEWS JUNE 11TH.

THAT IS. ALL OF OUR COUNCIL MEETINGS ARE BROADCAST LIVE THROUGH THE CITY WEBSITE. SO IF YOU WISH TO TUNE IN TO THAT, YOU'RE WELCOME TO DO SO. OR YOU CAN HOP ON A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AND CHECK THE VIDEO FILE. AND THAT WILL ALSO TELL YOU. BUT I KNOW MISS STORM WILL BE GOOD ABOUT REACHING OUT, BUT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN WATCHING LIVE, YOU WILL HAVE THAT. YOU CAN EITHER COME OR YOU COULD WATCH IT FROM HOME. SO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME THIS EVENING AND FOR YOUR INTEREST IN SERVING ON THIS BOARD. SO WITH THAT, WE DON'T HAVE ANY ACTION SINCE WE'LL BE MOVING. IF YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO STEP OUT, YOU'RE WELCOME TO YOU'RE WELCOME

OKAY, WELL, I DON'T HAVE ANYONE BUZZING DIRECTLY IN. I KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS WAITED, BUT SINCE IT IS A ZONING CASE, I KNOW WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING, SO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON IT. SO, MISS STORM, PLEASE LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT. I'M OPENING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM. IF ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IS PRESENT AND WISHES TO STEP FORWARD TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, I WOULD ASK THAT YOU DO SO AT THIS TIME. OKAY, MISS STORM, PLEASE LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT NO ONE WISHED TO STEP FORWARD TO

[01:55:06]

THAT IS JUST TO CONFIRM, AS STATED, THERE'S NO SMOKING OUTSIDE. THIS ONLY REMAINS INSIDE. YES, SIR. THAT IS CORRECT. SO IT SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY EFFECT ON SOMEBODY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, FOR INSTANCE. YES, SIR. OKAY.

JUST JUST WANT TO DOUBLE VERIFY BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING THAT'S PART OF WHAT WAS LEADING THERE. AND NOW WE CURRENT THIS BUSINESS CURRENTLY IS ALREADY THERE. CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT SIR.

OKAY. AND THIS IS JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE SEEKING TO EXPAND. THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY. MAYOR PRO TEM.

THANKS, MAYOR. MR. HASKINS, IF I'M LOOKING AT THE PLANS CORRECTLY, IT LOOKS LIKE EXPANSION FOR FOOD ORDERS AND PICKUPS FOR 900FT■!S. SO THEY'RE NOT REALLY EXPANDING THE SMOKING SECTION PER SE. THEY'RE MORE EXPANDING. THE RESTAURANT PORTION OF IT ON THAT SIDE IS GOING TO BE MORE PICKUPS AND WHATNOT. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE TABLES WHERE THERE IS MORE, I GUESS, HOOKAH AREAS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. IS THAT KIND OF WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING HERE OR NOT? YES. THAT IS THEIR CURRENT PLAN. THAT IS CORRECT, SIR. BUT TO BE CLEAR, THEY COULD EXPAND SMOKING INTO THAT AREA AS LONG AS THEY MET THE BUILDING REQUIREMENTS. HENCE THE SUP, I UNDERSTAND. YES, SIR. OKAY. IF WE DENY THIS, THEY WILL CONTINUE DOING BUSINESS AT THE 1900 SQUARE FOOT THAT THEY HAVE CURRENTLY. THAT IS CORRECT. CORRECT. YES. SO OKAY. HAVE WE, SINCE THEY'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS, HAVE WE HAVE ANY COMPLAINT THAT YOU KNOW OF? NO, SIR. I ACTUALLY CHECKED WITH PUBLIC SAFETY. AND SINCE WHAT I GOT BACK FROM PUBLIC SAFETY WAS SINCE 2019, THERE'S BEEN ONE WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL A DISRUPTIVE CALL FOR SERVICE. SO IN THE LAST SIX YEARS, AND PUBLIC SAFETY MADE IT PRETTY CLEAR THAT THAT WAS NOT ANYTHING THAT THE OWNER DID. IT WAS JUST MAYBE BAD CUSTOMER BEHAVIOR. OKAY, THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE. YES, SIR.

OKAY. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO I SEE THAT BY THE DIAGRAM, THE FOOD ORDER SPACE IS ACTUALLY JUST KIND OF OPEN SPACE THAT, YOU KNOW, COULD BE USED FOR FOOD. OR AS YOU SAID, ONCE IT'S APPROVED, THEY CAN USE IT AS THEY AS THEY DEEM WITHIN. YES, SIR. EVERYTHING THE CONCERN I HAD OR THING I WANTED TO CHECK IS THE PARKING, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT PARKING IS A LITTLE BIT LIMITED, BUT THEY'VE GOT ALL THOSE SPOTS DOWN THE SIDE THAT PROBABLY HELPS THAT. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WITH THAT EXPANSION AND THEM FALLING UNDER A DIFFERENT USE IN THAT AREA, THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF PARKING THERE, SIR. JUST MAKING MAKING SURE OF THAT. AND THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. OKAY. IS THERE I KNOW YOU SAID THE APPLICANT WAS HERE. DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE ANYTHING THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO ADD OR ANSWER THIS EVENING? YOU DON'T HAVE TO, BUT IF YOU DO, YOU'LL HAVE TO COME DOWN TO THE MICROPHONE FOR US. OKAY. SO I'LL ASK COUNCIL, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT TONIGHT? OKAY. WELL WE'VE HELD OUR PUBLIC HEARING AND I DON'T SEE ANYONE WITH ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS WITH THAT. DO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE ITEM? COUNCILMAN STRANG THANK YOU. MAYOR. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. DO WE HAVE A SECOND, COUNCILMAN DUKE? THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. THE ITEM IS APPROVED. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE

OKAY, SO I WANT TO REMIND MY FELLOW MEMBERS OF COUNCIL THAT I AM WELL, I'LL MAKE SURE I'M ASSUMING THIS FALLS UNDER THE FAA WITH PERMITTING. AND YES, SIR, SIMILAR TO THE THESE ARE CONSIDERED COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AND THEY WILL BE FULLY LICENSED AND PERMITTED AND EVERYTHING THROUGH THE FAA. OKAY. SO JUST MAKING SURE TO REMIND EVERYONE WE CAN'T REGULATE THE AIR THAT FALLS UNDER A DIFFERENT GOVERNMENTAL BODY. YES, SIR. WE'RE LOOKING AT WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE ZONING USE AND THE PAD ITSELF. THE ONLY QUESTION THAT I HAD, AND THIS WOULD BE FOR THE APPLICANT, AND I MAY NOT BE NOTICING IT, BUT PARKING FOR WHOMEVER WOULD BE, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THEY WILL ACTUALLY USE SINCE THEY FLY IT TO THE OTHER, BUT I'M ASSUMING THEY MAY HAVE MAINTENANCE STAFF OR PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE. I DON'T SEE ANY PARKING LISTED. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. MAYOR. COUNCIL WADE HARDEN REPRESENTING FLYTREX 721 FOUR CIRCLE 73093. FIRST OFF, I WANT TO JUST QUICKLY THANK STAFF. STAFF HAS BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH. PLANNING STAFF AS WELL AS EDC HAS HELPED US THROUGH THIS PROCESS. SO I WANT TO GIVE THEM THANKS FOR THAT AS WELL. IN REGARDS TO PARKING, THIS SITE IS REALLY A MAINTENANCE SHED OR CABINET. SO THE PLAN IS NOT TO HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON SITE. WE WILL HAVE PEOPLE THERE AT TIME TO TIME AND THERE IS PARKING AVAILABLE ON THE STREET. AND THAT WOULD BE OUR INTENT IS TO USE THE STREET PARKING. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WASN'T ANY NEED FOR DAILY INDIVIDUALS, SO TO SPEAK, TO BE WORKING ON THE DRONES THAT WILL BE FLYING ARE AUTONOMOUS. THEY ARE MORE OR LESS AND CAN BE FLOWN FROM FROM ANY LOCATION, REALLY FROM A STANDPOINT BY THE PILOT, I ASSUMED. BUT I ALWAYS LIKE TO ASK MAYOR PRO TEM. THANKS, MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. SURE. I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. ONE IS, ARE YOU DOING THIS DELIVERY PROCESSING ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE IN THE DFW AREA? YES. CAN YOU MENTION THOSE LOCATIONS? YES. SO THERE ARE TWO LOCATIONS CURRENTLY IN DFW. WE ARE EXPANDING. THE MOST RECENT IS LITTLE ELM HAS BEEN OPERATIONAL FOR APPROXIMATELY A YEAR, AS WELL AS GRANBURY, WHICH HAS BEEN OPERATIONAL FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS. HOW MANY DRONES ARE YOU OPERATING? ARE THOSE BOTH LOCATIONS? SO WE HAVE MULTIPLE DRONES. I APOLOGIZE, I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER, BUT TYPICAL FLIGHTS. WE HAVE FOUR PADS AT THE LITTLE ELM LOCATION. WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXPAND BEYOND THAT, BUT THE BUSINESS MODEL TAKES TIME TO RAMP UP. THE MAJORITY OF DELIVERIES ARE FOOD RELATED. BUT AGAIN, IT'S RIGHT NOW WE'VE BEEN IN OPERATIONAL ABOUT A YEAR IN LITTLE ELM AND HAVE ABOUT FOUR FOUR PLUS PADS. THERE WERE FOUR DRONES THAT WERE FLYING AT A TIME. WHAT'S THE ISSUES YOU'VE ENCOUNTERED IN THESE TWO OTHER SITES THAT SINCE YOU'VE BEEN OPERATING? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT YOU HAVE ENCOUNTERED BASED ON THE, I GUESS, THE CITIES OR THE DRONES BY ITSELF, ACCIDENTS? SURE. IT'S A NEW USE. WE'RE FAIRLY WELL RECEIVED BY THE COMMUNITY AND THE COMMUNITIES WE'RE IN OUTSIDE OF TEXAS, AS WELL AS IN TEXAS. WE'VE YOU KNOW, OUR PENETRATION RATE OF THE MARKET IS FAIRLY HIGH IN OUR RETURN. CUSTOMERS ARE FAIRLY HIGH. WE DON'T REALLY RECEIVE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WE MIGHT HAVE A COMPLAINT THAT'S FOOD RELATED. MAYBE THAT AS FAR AS TIMING OF THE DELIVERY, WE HAVE HAD, I THINK LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER DRONE DELIVERY COMPANIES, A FEW NOISE COMPLAINT ISSUES. WHAT WE'VE DONE TO RESOLVE THAT IS TO CHANGE THE ROUTES AS AN ISSUE WHERE WE'RE CLOSE WITHIN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO RESIDENTIAL, AND THE DRONES ARE FLYING OVER THE SAME LOCATION WITHIN THE LAUNCH TIME. SO JUST REROUTED THOSE AND SO THAT THAT SOLVED THE ISSUE. BUT THOSE ARE PROBABLY THE TWO ISSUES REALLY RELATED TO THE OPERATIONS, OBVIOUSLY, FROM A CITY OR MUNICIPAL PERSPECTIVE, THAT'S A NEW USE. AND SO EVERY JURISDICTION HANDLES IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. A LOT OF TIMES WE DO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. THERE ARE A FEW JURISDICTIONS IN DFW THAT HAVE ADOPTED ZONE ORDINANCES, BUT I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY THE LARGEST, BIGGEST CHALLENGE FOR US FROM A DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE. ANY ACCIDENTS? NO. SO I WON'T GO INTO A LOT OF DETAIL, BUT THE

[02:05:03]

GOTCHA. OKAY. I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO. NO, I WAS JUST MAKING SURE I DIDN'T MISUNDERSTAND. WHAT WHAT IT WAS. THAT WAS IT. THANK YOU. THANK COUNCILMAN PERKINS. THANK YOU.

MAYOR, WHAT IS THE PRODUCT YOU'RE DELIVERING? FOOD, PRIMARILY FOOD PRODUCTS AND CONVENIENCE GOODS. THE DRONES THAT WE FLY HAVE A MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF UNDER 7 POUNDS, AS MENTIONED. AND SO THESE ARE CONVENIENCE GOODS PRIMARILY. AND AGAIN, I'D SAY A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THEM ARE FOOD RELATED. WE HAVE PARTNERSHIPS WITH FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS QSR AS WELL AS FAST CASUAL. AND THEN ALSO WILL ENGAGE LOCAL RESTAURANTS AS WELL. AND SO IN OTHER LOCATIONS.

WE'RE SO IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, THE RESTAURANTS ARE DELIVERING THEIR PRODUCT TO YOU AND THEN YOU'RE DELIVERING IT WITH THE DRONE. SO, SO WITH WITH THE SKY TO THE DRONE THAT, THAT WE'RE MOVING TO, TOWARDS ACTUALLY LEAVES THE LOCATION GOES TO THE RESTAURANT. IF IT'S A RESTAURANT PICKS UP, IT NEVER LANDS, BUT IT PICKS UP THE FOOD ON A ZIP LINE AND, AND THEN TAKES IT TO THE END USER. SO TYPICALLY A RESIDENCE OR A IF THERE IS A PUBLIC POINT OR A PARK OR SOMETHING THAT'S APPROVED BY THE CITY OR THE JURISDICTION, WE'LL DELIVER, THE PRODUCT NEVER ACTUALLY IS ON YOUR FACILITY HERE. CORRECT. THAT'S YEAH. THAT'S THAT. AND SO THE TECHNOLOGY IS MOVING AND CHANGING FAIRLY RAPIDLY. HISTORICALLY WE HAVE HAD IN SOME OPERATIONS IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE THE FOOD IS ACTUALLY WE SERVICE A SHOPPING CENTER, I GUESS IS PROBABLY THE BEST WAY OF PUTTING IT AND THEIR, THEIR VENDORS OR BUSINESSES AROUND THERE THAT THEY SERVICE. SO THEY ACTUALLY PICK UP THE FOOD, TAKE IT THERE AND LAUNCH FROM THAT LOCATION. BUT THE PLAN ON THIS LOCATION IS WITH A NEW DRONE, THE SKY TOO. AND WE'LL GO TO THE LOCATION ACTUALLY PICK. OKAY. ANY REGULATIONS WITH THE DRONE FLYING TO THE RESTAURANT AND IT LANDING THERE, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT THOSE RESTAURANTS HAVE TO COMPLY WITH TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT? SURE. SO AGAIN, THE YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT BECOMES PROBABLY I'M NOT AN ATTORNEY, DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY, BUT I THINK THAT WOULD THEN BECOME IF THE DRONE WERE LANDING AND LAND USE COMPONENT, THE WAY WE OPERATE, IT WOULD BE ALL UNDER THE FROM AN FAA PERSPECTIVE. AND THAT IS CONTROLLED AND REGULATED THROUGH THE FAA. BECAUSE THE DRONE IS IN THE AIR, WE DON'T WE DO NOT LAND AT THE LOCATIONS. SO HOW IS THE PRODUCT DELIVERED TO THE DRONE FROM THE RESTAURANT? THERE'S A ZIP LINE IS WHAT I CALL IT, A CORD, AND THAT THEY HAVE SPECIAL BAGS THAT THE PRODUCT IS PUT IN, HOOKED ON THE ZIP LINE, RAISED UP INTO THE CARGO BAY, AND THEN GOES ON TO MAKE THE DELIVERY. OKAY, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, JASON. HOW MANY DRONE DELIVERY OPERATIONS DO WE HAVE IN THE CITY CURRENTLY? ONE. JUST WALMART. YES, SIR. WHAT IS DONE? AND THIS IS BACK TO YOU. WHAT IS DONE? HOW IS IT REGULATED ON COLLISION AVOIDANCE WITH DRONES? IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. SO THE FAA WAS ACTUALLY IN DFW THIS WEEK IN REGARDS TO, I BELIEVE THE OTHER THE OTHER GROUP THAT YOU HAVE IS GOOGLE WING. AND SO FLYTREX AND GOOGLE WING ARE WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE FAA IN REGARDS TO UTM OR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT OF THE DRONE SYSTEM.

SO THEY ARE BEING REPORTED AND SO THAT THEY'RE NOT CONFLICTS IN AIRSPACE WITH THE DRONES. SO THAT IS AGAIN MANAGED BY THE FAA. SO IS THERE A PROCESS IN PLACE FOR THAT OR IS IT COMING? IT IS IN PLACE. IT IS IN PLACE. YEP. THROUGH THE AGAIN THROUGH THE FAA. I, I DON'T KNOW ALL THE DETAILS AS FAR AS THAT. THE MEETING JUST TOOK PLACE AS FAR AS HOW THAT'S BEING HANDLED, AS FAR AS AIRSPACE, THE ALTITUDES AND DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT THAT HAS BEEN YEAH, BEFORE WOULD BE BEFORE FLY TRUCKS WOULD BE PERMITTED TO FLY. THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY THE FAA FOR THAT PERSPECTIVE. FOR THE UTM MANAGEMENT. I'VE GOT SOME RESEARCH TO DO TO UNDERSTAND THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THAT, BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWERS, I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO THIS IS A ZONING CASE. SO IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING. SO AT THIS TIME, MR. BAUM, IF YOU'D LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT I AM OPENING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM. IF ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IS PRESENT, WISHES TO STEP FORWARD, ASK THAT YOU DO SO AT THIS TIME. OKAY. MISS STORM, PLEASE LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT NO ONE STEPPED FORWARD TO SPEAK DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO WITH THAT, I'LL CLOSE IT. COUNCILMAN DUKE, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I HAVE A MOTION, SIR. OKAY. IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS, I'M NOT SEEING ANY. I WOULD BE OPEN TO A MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE OTTOMANS PRESENTED. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. DO WE HAVE A SECOND

[02:10:04]

[4. Consider, and act upon, the award of bid #W2025-87-2 for Stone Road Maintenance Activities from W.A. Allen to Bennett Road to Texas Materials Group in the total amount of $6,809,012 and authorizing the City Manager to execute any and all necessary documents. ]

[02:15:03]

SO IF APPROVED TONIGHT, OUR NEXT STEPS WOULD BE TO SET UP A PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING WITH THE WITH THE CONTRACTOR TO GET A START DATE. FROM THAT POINT, WE HAVE 180 DAYS IN THE CONTRACT FOR THEM TO HAVE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION. THIS IS GOING TO BE A TWO PART PROCESS. SO THE FIRST PART IS GOING TO BE TO ADDRESS ALL THE DRAINAGE. SO DRAINAGE WILL BE. CROSS CULVERTS PROPERTY OWNER CULVERTS. ALL THOSE WILL BE HANDLED AND ADDRESSED FIRST. AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK IN AND PAVE THE REST OF THE WHOLE ROAD IN ITS ENTIRETY. SO LIKE I SAID, IT'S 180 DAYS FOR SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION. IT'S 210 DAYS FOR TOTAL COMPLETION IN THE ROAD WILL NOT BE CLOSED AT ALL TIMES.

WHILE THERE'S BEING REPAIRS DONE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD. IS THAT CORRECT? SO THERE MAY BE SOME THERE MAY BE SOME CLOSURES DURING THE DRAINAGE PORTION ONLY BECAUSE IT SPEEDS UP THINGS.

OKAY. IF WE, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CLOSE THE ROAD, HAVE SOME DETOURS, REPLACE ONE WHOLE LENGTH OF PIPE GOING ACROSS THE ROAD, IT'S GOING TO SPEED UP THINGS QUITE A BIT.

OKAY. AND JUST TO FOLLOW UP TO COUNCILMAN PERKINS, QUESTION THE FUNDING. IF SOME OF THE HOMEOWNERS, AS WE START WORK AND THEY SEE THAT THE WORK IS BEING DONE, ESPECIALLY ON DRAINAGE AND WHATNOT, SOME OF THE HOMEOWNERS THAT HAVE NOT RESPONDED OR HAVE GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHTS TO FIX THOSE DRAINAGE ISSUES, IF THEY SAY, HEY, WE WANT TO DO IT, THERE'S FUNDING IN PLACE WITHIN THIS CONTRACT TO GO AHEAD AND DO THOSE AS WELL. IS THAT CORRECT, SIR? YEAH, THAT'S WHAT THAT BID ULTIMATE FOR. I APOLOGIZE, I THOUGHT I, I HEARD IT RIGHT, BUT TONIGHT I'M HAVING A HARD TIME HEARING. OKAY. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS THANK YOU. MAYOR, IF YOU'RE READY FOR A MOTION, I'M READY FOR A MOTION. I WILL I WILL GIVE YOU THE MOTION IN A SECOND. LET ME ASK ONE QUESTION.

FOLLOW UP. JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES INCLUDE THE LARGE CULVERTS THAT RUN. I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE CREEK OR SPILLWAY. YES. OKAY. PERFECT. ALL RIGHT THEN, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. OH. OH, I THOUGHT YOU WERE TRYING. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO SUSPEND YOUR MOTION? OKAY, I KNOW THE MICROPHONE IS OFF, MISS STORM. LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS DID SUSPEND FOR QUESTION.

COUNCILMAN PERKINS. IF THE NEIGHBORS DON'T WANT TO CHANGE THE IMPROVEMENT, YOU KNOW, TO THEIR CULVERTS, DOES IT IMPACT THE WORK THAT YOU DO WITH THE OTHERS SO IT WILL STILL HAVE POSITIVE DRAINAGE? IT MIGHT NOT DRAIN AS FAST, BUT WE STILL MAINTAIN A POSITIVE DRAINAGE FROM PROPERTY TO PROPERTY TO GET TO INTO THOSE LARGE CULVERT AREAS. SO NOT DRAINING AS FAST SAYS TO ME THAT THERE COULD BE AN ISSUE IF. CORRECT. SO CURRENTLY IT HAS THOSE ISSUES ESSENTIALLY. I, I JUST KNOW FROM LIVING ON AND DRIVING THAT ROAD THE PEOPLE WHO IF PEOPLE CHOOSE NOT TO, IT WILL BE THEIR PROPERTY THAT CONTINUES TO SUFFER FROM IT. SO HOPEFULLY THE OTHER 28 INDIVIDUALS WILL, BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE THOSE ISSUES. ESSENTIALLY THEY'RE THEIR NEIGHBORS WOULD BE FACILITATING THE REPAIR OF BROKEN CULVERTS, FILLED CULVERTS, ETC. THE THING THAT RINGS IN MY HEAD IS THAT ONE NEIGHBOR THAT REFUSES AND CAUSES A PROBLEM FOR EVERYBODY UPSTREAM THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE DONE THE WORK AND NOW. SO WHAT HAPPENS THEN WHEN WE GO? OKAY, THAT'S FINE. ONE OTHER QUESTION. IF YOU DON'T MIND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION, I KNOW THAT YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE WOULD BE CLOSURES OF THE ROAD. HOW LONG WOULD YOU ANTICIPATE THE ROAD TO BE CLOSED IF THE CLOSURE HAD TO HAPPEN. SO THAT CLOSURE WOULD BE UNTIL THAT, TILL THAT CULVERT THAT THAT IS CAUSING THAT ROAD TO BE CLOSED, TO BE REPLACED. I DON'T HAVE A TRUE IS IT A DAY, COUPLE DAYS WEEK? IT COULD POSSIBLY A COUPLE DAYS TO A WEEK. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN I'VE, I'VE DRIVEN DOWN STONE ROAD AS WELL. I KNOW THAT THE, THE SIDES OF THE ROAD ARE PRETTY STEEP. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO MANAGE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AS YOU'RE WORKING THE ROAD? IS IT ONE LANE OR IS IT HOW'S THAT GOING TO WORK? IT'LL BE ONE LANE AT A TIME. OKAY. AND WE'LL HAVE FLAGGERS AT THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY. THEY'LL HAVE THEIR FLAGGERS AND THEY WILL FLAG TRAFFIC. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY, OKAY. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS, I WILL TURN
