LOOK, I WOULD BE COMFORTABLE MAKING A MOTION THAT WE MOVE TO AWARD ALL SEVEN VOTES TO MR. STANDRIDGE SO THAT THE CITY OF PARKER CAN HAVE REPRESENTATION ON THIS BOARD FOR THE COLLIN COUNTY CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT IN PLACE OUR VOTES WITH MR. STANDRIDGE. OK.

I SECOND THAT.

OK.

[5. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NO. 2021-682, MAKING APPOINTMENTS TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING (P&Z) COMMISSION]

THE APPLICANTS, THOSE POSITIONS, WHICH ARE UP FOR EITHER REAPPOINTMENT AND OR NEW PEOPLE TO BE APPOINTED.

WHAT SAY YOU? I WILL NOTE THAT MR. ALBRITTON IS NOT ASKING TO BE REAPPOINTED.

HE IS ASKING TO RESIGN AT THIS TIME FROM.

WELL, THAT CBA. I'M SORRY, I'M GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF.

OK, SO I JUST HAVE A QUESTION KIND OF A CONFIRMATION IS THE MICHAEL [INAUDIBLE].

DID YOU EVER RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM HIM? OK, THANK YOU.

MOVED OUT OF THE CITY OF PARKER, SO.

FOR CLARIFICATION, DO WE HAVE TO ACCEPT HER RESIGNATION OR WE CAN JUST, SINCE ALL THE

[00:10:03]

GENERALLY, ONCE SOMEBODY SUBMITS A WRITTEN RESIGNATION TO PATTI, THAT'S THE OFFICIAL NOTICE. SOMETIMES WE NOTE IT, SOMETIMES WE DON'T, YOU KNOW, WE PROBABLY SHOULD GET A LITTLE MORE CONSISTENT ON WHAT WE DO.

BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS.

SO I CAN START OFF THE CONVERSATION.

I THINK THE INDIVIDUALS WHO CHOOSE TO REMAIN ON, THEY'VE DONE A VERY GOOD JOB.

I HAVE NO CONCERNS WITH LEAVING THEM.

I DO FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOT A GENERALLY GOOD REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY AS A WHOLE.

IN DOING THAT, LOOKING AT THE APPLICATIONS, I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE APPLIED. I WAS KIND OF INCLINED TO MOVE TODD FICK INTO ONE OF THE POSITIONS BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN AROUND IN THE CITY AND THAT WOULD PUT SOME PUSH ONTO MOSS RIDGE SINCE THERE ISN'T ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OUT OF THERE.

OK, I TEND TO AGREE WITH WHAT COUNCILMAN SLAUGHTER IS SAYING.

I FEEL THE SAME WAY.

I THINK THAT WE LEAVE IT INTACT AS IT IS ADDING TODD FICK TO THE FOLD, I THINK WOULD BE A GOOD PATH FORWARD AS A NOMINEE.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

[INAUDIBLE] THEY HAD THREE MEETINGS AND SHE WAS ABSENT ALL THREE MEETINGS.

MM HMM. SO HAS ANYBODY CONTACTED HER TO FIND OUT IF SHE'S WILLING TO ATTEND MEETINGS IN THE FUTURE? SHE IS WILLING TO CONTINUE TO SERVE.

SHE HAS. AS SECRETARY, SHE HAS GIVEN THE MINUTES THAT SHE HAS HAD EMERGENCY RESPONSE NUMBER AT THE LAST MINUTE.

SHE ADDED TO THE LITTLE THINGS THAT I KNOW SPECIFICALLY THIS LAST ONE AND THEN.

BUT THEN TO COME UP WITH.

BUT JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, SHE HAS CONTINUED HER DUTIES IN THE POSITION OF SECRETARY REGARDLESS OF OK.

AND SHE WAS VERY INVOLVED WITH THE SUBCOMMITTEE THAT JUST REVIEWED SO THE BOTTOM LINE, IN YOUR OPINION, SHE'S BEEN PRETTY ENGAGED? ESPECIALLY LIKE SOME OF THE.

YEAH, YEAH, WITH A LEGAL BACKGROUND ON P AND Z IS ALWAYS A BENEFIT, IN MY OPINION AS WELL.

WELL, I MEAN, I AGREE I JUST BECAUSE THREE OUT OF THREE.

I JUST WAS WONDERING IF SHE STILL WANTED TO BE PART OF IT.

ABOUT MR. FECK'S QUALIFICATIONS TO BE ON THIS.

I THINK HE BRINGS A GREAT DEAL OF EXPERIENCE FROM HIS BACKGROUND.

AND SO I WOULD SUPPORT THAT AS WELL.

AND IF YOU'RE WILLING TO ACCEPT A MOTION, I'LL MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT RESOLUTION 2021-682 WITH ADDING RUSSELL WRIGHT, EXTENDING HIS TERM WAY, WEIWEI ZHANG EXTENDING HER TERM JASMEET ZA'ATARI EXTENDING HIS TERM, PLACING TODD FECK AS ALTERNATE THREE, MOVING LARKIN CRUTCHER TO ALTERNATE ONE AND JARED DOUGLAS TO ALTERNATE TWO.

YOU ALSO HAVE THREE OFFICERS, AND YOU CAN KEEP ALL THOSE THREE OFFICERS THE SAME BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL CONTINUING TO BE APPOINTEES.

THE ONLY ONE THAT DOESN'T SHOW ON HERE AND THAT'S JOE LOZANO, BECAUSE HIS TERM IS NOT UP ? RIGHT. HE WOULD. SO I WOULD KEEP THEM IN THEIR POSITION AS PLACE ONE AS MR. RIGHT PLACE THREE SECRETARY AS WEIWEI AND THEN PLACE FIVE AS JASMEET ZA'ATARI.

OK. AND YOU PUT, I THINK, LOZANO.

YEAH. YEAH. OK.

[00:15:02]

CORRECT. RIGHT. YOU DO.

ONLY IN THE SENSE THAT IF YOU LOOK AT SECTION FOUR OF THE RESOLUTION THAT SAYS THE APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS, SO YOU WOULD BE APPOINTED IF YOU'RE GOING TO STAY THE SAME.

OK, THAT I WOULD MOVE TO LEAVE MR. LOZANO AS WELL. OK.

OK, SO DID YOU GET THAT, PATTI? OK. OK.

AND YOU WERE PUTTING MR. FECK IN AS ALTERNATE ONE.

I MOVED HIM TO ALTERNATE THREE AND MOVED THE OTHER TWO UP.

BASICALLY, SINCE MS. COTTRELL, WHO WE THANK FOR HER SERVICE, HAS RESIGNED AS ALTERNATE ONE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER ON THE NUMBERS. BUT OK.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I GOT THAT RIGHT.

OK. AND THAT'S WHAT YOU SAY.

YES, I SECOND. THEN HE SECONDED THAT.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES, I SECONDED THAT. OK.

WELL, I THOUGHT YOU DID EARLIER.

OK. ANYWAY, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER AND A SECOND BY EITHER COUNCIL MEMBER REED OR COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH TO CONTINUE WITH RUSSELL WRIGHT AS CHAIR.

WEIWEI ZHANG AS SECRETARY.

JOE LOZANO AS VICE CHAIR, MOVING LYNCH AND CRUTCHER UP TO ALTERNATE ONE J.R.

DOUGLAS TO ALTERNATE TWO AND ADDING TODD FECK AS ALTERNATE THREE.

IS THAT CORRECT? OK, YES, MADAM MAYOR, AND THAT'S A POINT OF CLARIFICATION JUST ON MY MOTION.

I THOUGHT THAT AT ONE POINT WE PASSED SOMETHING WHERE WE SAID THE ALTERNATE POSITIONS DID MATTER BECAUSE WE WOULD TAKE FROM ALTERNATE ONE.

WE I KNOW WE DISCUSSED IT, AND I THOUGHT WE ACTUALLY PASSED A RESOLUTION TO THAT EFFECT.

DID WE NOT? NOT THAT I RECALL, WE MAY HAVE.

OK. I THOUGHT AT ONE POINT WE HAD DISCUSSED IT AND I COULDN'T REMEMBER IF WE PASSED IT THAT NIGHT OR NOT TO SAY THAT THE POSITIONS MATTERED.

IF I RECALL THE ISSUE BECAME, IT WOULD GET VERY COMPLICATED WHO'S ON LONGEVITY AND KEEPING UP WITH THAT AND SO WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY FOLLOW THROUGH ON IT, BUT WE CAN RESEARCH IT AND SEE BECAUSE I COULD BE WRONG.

EITHER WAY, I STAND BY MY MOTION IN THE WAY IT'S WORDED.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS FOR FUTURE, SINCE WE HAVE TWO MORE OF THESE ON THE AGENDA.

I JUST WANT A CLARIFICATION. YES.

OK. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? WELL, TO THAT POINT SO THAT WE DO HAVE CLARITY.

I UNDERSTOOD THAT COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER'S MOTION WAS TO THE EXTENT THAT IT DOES MATTER. HIS INTENTION WAS TO MOVE THE TWO THAT ARE THERE UP TO ONE AND TWO AND PUT MR. FECK IN THE THIRD POSITION THAT CORRECT? IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH.

YES, SIR. OK.

OK. OK.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OK, THEN I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

ANYONE OPPOSED? NO. OK.

THAT PASSES 5-0.

PATTI, WOULD YOU PLEASE NOTIFY THE PERSONS OF THEIR APPOINTMENT OR REAPPOINTMENT? OK. NEXT, WE HAVE THE ZBA.

[6. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NO. 2021-683, MAKING APPOINTMENTS TO THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT (ZBA).]

BUT WE HAVE NO APPLICATIONS FOR ZBA.

SO WHAT THAT GENERALLY HAS MEANT AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG MR. LEE IN THE IN THE PAST, IF AT SOME POINT PATTI WOULD GET AN APPLICATION, THEN WE WOULD CONSIDER IT AT THAT TIME.

IS THAT? WELL, DO YOU HAVE IT ALL? IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE RIGHT NOW? YES. YEAH.

YES, STEVE. BUT WE WOULD HAVE OPEN ALTERNATE POSITIONS AND OPEN ALTERNATIVES.

YES, IT WOULD BE.

YEAH. BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE ME AND STEVE [INAUDIBLE].

WELL, IT MIGHT.

SO IF SOMEONE WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION.

AS TO WHO SHOULD OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE YOU HAVE PLACES ONE, THREE AND FIVE REQUIRING APPOINTMENT AND THEN THE APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS.

OK, CURRENTLY, FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT, ANDREW ELLISON IS THE CHAIR, THE CURRENT VICE CHAIR IS MR. DIXON AND THE OH.

THAT'S WHAT YOU GOT. YOU GOT THAT.

YEAH, JUST THOSE TWO, YOU KNOW? MADAM MAYOR, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE RESOLUTION 2021-683 TAKING ANDREW ELLISON

[00:20:06]

BRIAN DEVER PLACE FIVE AND MOVING SEAN CASEY FROM ALTERNATE TO UP TO PLACE ONE, WHICH WOULD LEAVE ONE INDIVIDUAL REMAINING AS AN ALTERNATE.

IS HE UP THIS TIME? DO WE NEED TO LIST HIS NAME, THE ALTERNATE? JASON? HE'S NOT UP FOR.

OH NO, HE'S NOT UP.

OK, NOW THE ZBA DID HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO BE CONSIDERED, WHICH IS THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MR. DEVER TO BE THE VICE CHAIR RATHER THAN MR. DICKSON AND JUST LEAVE HIM AS A VOTING MEMBER.

AND JUST SINCE [INAUDIBLE] TOLD ME ABOUT IT, I FELT OBLIGATED TO BRING THAT TO YOU ALL.

MR. DIXON HAS BEEN THE VICE CHAIR FOR MAYBE 15 YEARS AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST ROTATING IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR ISSUE IS, IF THERE IS EVEN AN ISSUE.

SO WHAT I THEN ADD TO THE MOTION THAT IN ADDITION, THE CHAIRPERSON WILL TO BE MR. DIXON, ELLISON AND THE VICE CHAIR TO BE BRIAN DEAVER.

OK, I'LL SECOND THAT, MADAM MAYOR.

OK. IS THAT OK? OK? I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO CHECK WITH KEITH.

OK, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER TO PUT ANDREW ELLISON AS THE OH OK, WHICH I'M MAD ABOUT THAT.

OK, RESOLUTION NUMBER THAT WE HAVE LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT.

WE APPROVE RESOLUTION 2021-683, WHICH WOULD PUT MR. ELLISON AS THE CHAIRPERSON, MR. DEAVER AS THE VICE CHAIRPERSON, AND MOVE UP STEVE [INAUDIBLE] FROM THE ALTERNATE POSITION TO A VOTING MEMBER.

I'M SORRY TO PLACE ONE.

OH, TO PLACE ONE.

AND WOULD ALSO BE MR. ELLISON IN PLACE THREE AND REAPPOINT [INAUDIBLE] TO PLACE FIVE.

OK, OK.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT? NOT HEARING ANY? I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF MAKING MR. ELLISON THE CHAIR IN AND CONTINUING IN PLACE ONE.

WAS HE PLACE ONE.

A PLACE THREE, OK, MAKING MR. DEAVER THE VICE AND CONTINUING HIM IN PLACE FIVE MAKING MR. SEAN CASEY FROM ALTERNATE ONE TO PLACE ONE.

ALTERNATE TWO.

OK, ALTERNATE TWO THE PLACE ONE.

OK. I WILL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL THOSE OPPOSED? OK, MOTION PASSES 5-0.

AGAIN, PATTI, I WILL ASK THAT YOU NOTIFY THE PEOPLE INVOLVED.

OK, ONE MORE AND THIS ONE MIGHT GET A LITTLE COMPLICATED.

NOT THAT I'M DOING SO WELL TONIGHT BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET MY HEAD WRAPPED AROUND EVERYTHING.

CONSIDERATION AND OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION 2021-684 MAKING APPOINTMENTS TO

[7. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NO. 2021-684, MAKING APPOINTMENTS TO THE TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION.]

OK. AS YOU ALL KNOW, BILLY BARON RESIGNED EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1ST . IN THE VACANT, EXCUSE ME, IN THE ALTERNATIVE POSITIONS.

PATTI CORDINA RESIGNED IN MAY, AND RICK DEBUS WANTS TO STEP BACK AT THIS

[00:25:05]

WE HAVE TWO APPLICATIONS.

ONE IS FROM MEL HARRIS, AND IF YOU ALL SAW IN THE PACKET, SHE HAS THE BACKGROUND IN THE DEGREE IN THERAPEUTIC RECREATION AND THE OTHER IS FROM PAULA JOHNSTON [INAUDIBLE]. AND I WILL SAY THAT ONE CONCERNS ME A LITTLE BIT.

SHE HAS AN AWFUL LOT ON HER PLATE, BEING THE PRESIDENT OF THE WOMEN'S CLUB.

AND BUT SHE PUT IN AN APPLICATION SO WHATEVER YOU ALL WANT TO DO.

I'D MAKE A MOTION FOR A RESOLUTION 2021-684 THAT WE HAVE MEL HARRIS AND PAULA JONES, EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS A LOT ON HER PLATE, BUT I THINK THAT SHE WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE ORGANIZATION. AND SINCE WE HAVE VACANCIES AND PEOPLE INTERESTED, I OPENLY WOULD MAKE A.

SO I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO BRING THEM ON INTO THE.

AN ALTERNATE POSITION? YES. OK. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO AMEND YOUR MOTION TO MOVE ONE OF THE ALTERNATES UP TO THE VOTING POSITION THAT WE NOW HAVE VACANT AS WELL? AND IN THAT, I WOULD PROBABLY RECOMMEND PIA BURGESS JUST BECAUSE OF HER INVOLVEMENTS, AND SHE HAS CONTINUALLY BEEN DEDICATED TO THIS GROUP SINCE I WAS ON IT.

AND THAT WAS THE RECOMMENDATION FROM OUR PARKS AND REC IS THAT PIA BE MOVED UP TO THE VOTING. SO MY MOTION OF RESOLUTION 2021-684 TO GO AHEAD AND PUT PIA IN THAT PLACE THAT IS VACANT PLACE TWO THAT BILLY BARRON LEFT VACANT AND PUT HER IN THAT POSITION AND HAVE THE OTHER TWO THAT I SUGGESTED, MELANIE AND PAULA BE IN ALTERNATE POSITIONS.

I WOULD SECOND THAT MOTION.

OK, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPOINT PIA BURGESS TO BE A VOTING MEMBER, WHICH WOULD BE PLACED TWO; IS THAT CORRECT? OK, AND TO APPOINT MEL HARRIS AND PAULA JOHNSTON TO ALTERNATE POSITIONS, PLACE ONE AND PLACE THREE.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? PLACE ONE AND PLACE TWO, ACTUALLY, BECAUSE I THINK RICK IS IN PLACE TO DO WELL.

IS RICK RESIGNING OR IS HE JUST SAYING HE WANTED TO STEP BACK? I NEVER COULD GET HIM TO TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANT.

I SAID, DOES THAT MEAN YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE REAPPOINTED? AND HE SAID, WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST WORK RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T HAVE TIME AND I DON'T WANT TO DO SOMETHING THAT I'M NOT COMMITTED TO.

CAN I COME BACK WHEN I'M READY? YEAH, THAT DIDN'T TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE NOW.

MAYBE MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO PUT THEM IN ALTERNATES ONE AND FOUR SINCE WE JUST TOOK OUT OF FOUR.

AND ONE IS VACANT JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAN AND WE CAN DEAL WITH MR. DEBUS AT A LATER TIME SINCE THE OTHER TERM IS UP.

WELL, I MEAN, WE CAN.

YOU WANT TO REAPPOINT, YOU KNOW YOU.

YES. YES, YES.

AND IF I UNDERSTAND FROM PATTI, YOU'D HAVE THE SAME SITUATION.

IF SOMEBODY DECIDED THAT THEY WANTED TO APPLY, THEN THAT WE CAN CONSIDER THEM.

IS THAT RIGHT? I WAS JUST ASSUMING SINCE HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO STEP BACK, THAT HE WAS NOT GOING TO BE REAPPOINTED. WHO'S WELL AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANTED TO, HE CAN BE. BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A VACANT POSITION IF WE MOVE UP, YOU KNOW? NO, LET ME.

I'M SORRY.

SURE, SURE.

I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT PLACE ONE, PLACE THREE AND PLACE FIVE, WHICH IS KIMBERLY

[00:30:02]

YEAH, WE GOT IT. LET ME LET ME DO THIS.

AND THEN BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE PRETTY SIMPLE.

I'M GOING TO TAKE THE BLAME FOR THIS BECAUSE WE SHOULD HAVE DONE A LITTLE BIT BETTER JOB DRAFTING THE RESOLUTION.

BUT HERE'S WHAT WE'VE GOT.

PLACE TWO, YOU HAVE A RESIGNATION, SO YOU HAVE TO APPOINT SOMEONE FOR THE REMAINDER OF PLACE. THE [INAUDIBLE] TERM OUT OF PLACE TWO WHICH I THINK YOU'VE THAT'S WHAT YOU INTENDED TO DO.

PLACE ONE, PLACE THREE AND PLACE FIVE.

YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT CURRENTLY SERVE IN THOSE POSITIONS, BUT THEIR TERM IS GOING TO EXPIRE AT THE END OF NOVEMBER 2021.

AND SO YOU NEED TO REAPPOINT THEM FOR TERMS ENDING 2023.

AND SO WE OUGHT TO DO THAT ALL IN ONE PACKAGE.

IF SOMEONE WAS SO INCLINED TO MAKE THAT MOTION, OK, THERE? DID THAT MAKE SENSE? OK. OK. THE ONE THING I NEED TO SHARE WITH YOU, SHERRY, IS THE SECRETARY, AND SHE DOES NOT WISH TO REMAIN AS SECRETARY.

SHE WISHES TO REMAIN A VOTING MEMBER, BUT SHE'S TIRED OF TAKING THE NOTES.

SO I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT PARKS AND REC CAN BE DEALT WITH INTERNALLY. THAT'S NOT PART OF YOUR RESOLUTION HERE THAT YOU'RE REQUIRED TO PASS, BUT YOU DO NEED TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT.

OK. ALL RIGHT.

SO I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION.

JUST START A NEW MOTION, NEW MOTION ON RESOLUTION 2021-684 THAT WE GO AHEAD AND FOUR POSITIONS ALTERNATE ONE AND ALTERNATE FOUR.

WE PUT MEL HARRIS AND PAULA OLSON IN THEIR POSITIONS.

OK. AT THE SAME TIME, DUE TO THE VACATING OF THE BILLY BARON POSITION, WE ARE GOING TO PUT, YEAH, PIA BURGESS IN THAT POSITION TEMPORARILY.

AND THEN THE NEXT PART OF THE RESOLUTION IS THAT FOUR PLACES ONE, THREE AND FIVE, WHICH WILL BE ENDING ON NOVEMBER 30TH, 2021.

WE WILL REINSTATE THEM FOR THE NEXT TERM AS THEY ARE LISTED RIGHT NOW.

SO THAT'S THE MOTION I WOULD MAKE.

OK, OK, I HAVE ONE QUESTION.

ALL THE ALTERNATES EXPIRE AT THE END OF THIS YEAR OR ARE YOU WANTING TO REAPPOINT DONNA ACOSTA? YES. I WOULD ALSO DO THAT, SO, DONNA, I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT HERS WAS UP AS WELL.

WELL, YES. OK.

AND I WILL SECOND THAT MOTION.

MR. ATTORNEY, DO WE HAVE IT CORRECT? IT GETS COMPLICATED.

OK. THEN, AS WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER REED AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-684 TO MAKE PIA BURGESS A VOTING MEMBER OF PARKS AND RECREATION.

MOVING HER FROM ALTERNATE FOUR TO PLACE TWO, REAPPOINTING.

KIMBERLY HINSHAW TO PLACE ONE, LEE [INAUDIBLE] TO PLACE THREE.

SHERRY WEIR TO PLACE FIVE, REAPPOINTING DONNA ACOSTA TO ALTERNATE THREE.

AND MEL HARRIS TO ALTERNATE ONE.

AND PAULA JOHNSON [INAUDIBLE] TO ALTERNATE FOUR.

OK. WHATEVER IS THAT? DID I GET OK? THEN IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, I WILL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE, PLEASE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

ANYONE OPPOSED? OK, MOTION PASSES 5-0.

THANK YOU. OH.

[00:35:06]

[8. CONSIDERATION AND/OR APPROPRIATE ACTION ON THE PURCHASE OF A REPLACEMENT SPEED TRAILER FROM COLLECTED REVENUE FROM THE CHILD SAFETY FUND.]

SO, CHIEF, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE OLD UNION? IT'S THERE.

OK. IT'S NOT WORTH WHILE PUTTING 26 HUNDRED DOLLARS INTO IT AND HAVING TWO MONITORS, MAYBE ONE PERMANENT.

I'M JUST SAYING I'M ON A BUSY ROAD LIKE PARKER ROAD OR [INAUDIBLE] BUT HOGAN, PARKER .

SO, CHIEF, YOU PROVIDED US WITH A BEAUTIFUL COLORED PICTURE HERE THAT GIVES US A PICTURE OF THE SPEED TRAILER AND A BUNCH OF OPTIONS.

WHAT ARE WE GETTING WITH THIS TRAILER? ARE WE GETTING THESE SOLAR PANELS OR ARE WE GETTING THE VIOLATOR ALERTS? THE INTEGRATED STATISTICS PACKAGE, THE HANDHELD CONTROLLER? WHAT ITEMS ARE WE LOOKING TO?

[00:40:32]

AND THEN THOUGH I KNOW THE ANSWER JUST BECAUSE I KNOW THE QUESTION WILL COME UP THIS THIS UNIT WILL NOT BE CAPABLE OF WRITING CITATIONS OR YOU WILL NOT BE WRITING CITATIONS OFF OF THIS UNIT. THIS WILL BE JUST FOR DATA COLLECTION; CORRECT? I HAVE ONE QUESTION. ARE THERE ANY REOCCURRING COSTS OR MAINTENANCE COSTS THAT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS? JUST GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND NOT RECURRING, ALL RIGHT. SO THERE'S NO SOFTWARE OR ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

OK. AND YOU WOULD BE INTENDING THAT YOUR OFFICERS MOVE THIS.

WE WOULD NOT BE UTILIZING THREE MEMBERS OF PUBLIC WORKS GOING FORWARD TO PLACE THIS AROUND THE THE CITY.

AROUND. WHAT? NO, MAN.

IF YOU HAD THREE PEOPLE, HOW LONG WAS IT TAKING TO DO IT? I WAS JUST WANTING TO ADD THAT BECAUSE THAT'S COST FOR US ALSO, NO MATTER HOW YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS MULTIPLE HOURS OF WORK FOR FOUR PEOPLE, ESSENTIALLY.

SO IT WAS A MINIMUM OF OF, YOU KNOW, TWO HOURS FOR PER THAT'S EIGHT MAN HOURS PER QUARTER AS A MINIMUM. SO OK.

IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

WELL, CHIEF, I'D LIKE TO SAY I COMMEND THAT YOU BRING THIS TO US AND ALSO TELL US HOW WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR IT. I ALWAYS APPRECIATE THAT WHEN WHEN SOMETHING GETS BROUGHT FORTH, AS A RESULT, I'D BE WILLING TO MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF THE REPLACEMENT SPEED TRAILER BASED ON THE ESTIMATE PROVIDED IN OUR PACKET HERE FOR A COST OF $8700 THAT IS GOING TO BE FUNDED FROM THE CHILD SAFETY FUND ACCOUNT AS THE CHIEF IS LAID OUT. I'LL MOVE TO SECOND, OK.

WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER AND A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER ABRAHAM TO APPROVE THE ACTION ON THE PURCHASE OF A REPLACEMENT SPEED TRAILER FROM COLLECTED REVENUE FROM THE CHILD SAFETY FUND.

APPROXIMATELY 87 HUNDRED DOLLARS.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? NOT HEARING ANY, I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF MAKING THIS PURCHASE, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

ANYONE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES 5-0.

NOW, IF IT CAN JUST PUT OUT SPIKES WHEN THEY START RACING DOWN THE STREET, OK, NEXT YEAR, CONSIDERATION AND ON ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON WHITESTONE ESTATES PHASE

[9. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON WHITESTONE ESTATES PHASE 3 FINAL PLAT.]

MR. SOLOMON, DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM ON THAT? OK. COUNCIL, IN CASE YOU ALL DIDN'T KNOW THERE IS A BIG MAP OVER THERE, IF YOU NEED TO GO SEE. YEAH.

OK. GARY MR.

[00:45:03]

THE COUNCIL APPROVED THE CONSTRUCTION PLAN AND THROUGH THE DRAINAGE, INCLUDING ROADWAYS.

I CAN'T HEAR YOU. WOULD YOU PUT THE MICROPHONE UP? OH GEEZ. WELL, CAN'T GET GOOD HELP SO THE CITY HAS UNDERTAKEN A WATER MASTER PLAN IN 2008.

IT'S BEEN REVISED A FEW TIMES.

AND SO AS YOU DO A MASTER PLAN, YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE THE PLAN, THE MASTER PLAN THAT THE CITY HAS THE ZONING.

AND SO THESE VACANT TRACTS THAT ARE OUT THERE ARE DESIGNATED FOR THESE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. AND SO WE WE PUT A DEMAND IN FOR THAT.

SO AS WE HAVE SIZE THE SYSTEM, YOU KNOW, THE WATER LINES OR SIZE TO SERVE THAT THE ELEVATED TANK SITTING OUT HERE IS SIZED TO SERVE THAT.

AND THEN THE CITY IS WORKING ON A NEW PUMP STATION.

SO AS THEY GET ADDITIONAL SUPPLY FROM THE NORTH TEXAS UNITS OF WATER DISTRICT, THEN THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SUPPLY ALL THESE NEW HOMES WHEN THEY SEE THIS ADDITION OR ANY OTHER ONES THAT ARE COMING IN.

SO ALL THAT HAS BEEN PROJECTED OUT.

WE'VE DONE WATER DEMAND STUDIES TO UNDERSTAND HOW RESIDENTS HERE IN PARKER USE WATER, AND THAT ALL WENT INTO THE COMPUTER MODELING THE HYDRAULIC MODELING OF SIZING THE COMPONENTS OF THE WATER SYSTEM.

SO WHAT KIND OF PIPES ARE YOU USING FOR THE WATER MAINS? OK, MA'AM, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP AND AT THE PODIUM AND ASK YOUR QUESTION.

SO IF YOU WOULD COME ON UP AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND THEN YOU CAN ASK YOUR QUESTION. [INAUDIBLE] . AND MY QUESTION IS ALL THESE NEW PIPES ARE GOING IN WATER MAINS AND ALL OF THIS STUFF? WHAT ABOUT THE OLD SECTIONS AROUND HERE THAT DON'T HAVE THAT? THEY HAVE THE CAST IRON PIPES AND STUFF LIKE THAT? SO IS THERE ANY KIND OF SETUP THAT'S GOING TO REMEDY THOSE PROBLEMS OR WHAT? YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WHAT KIND OF PIPES ARE THEY PUTTING IN AND STUFF LIKE THIS? I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN THE WATER SUPPLY IN THIS TOWN BECAUSE MY WATER AT MY HOUSE IS CRAPPY. I HAVE TO HAVE FILTERS ON MY WATER IN ORDER TO DRINK AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M INTERESTED IN, YOU KNOW, WHO'S GOING TO GET ALL THE GOOD WATER? ARE WE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON? OK.

AND I ALSO WANT TO PUT IN I'VE GONE TO THE COUNTY AND THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHEN THE PIPES WERE PUT IN WHERE I LIVE AND THE CITY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING HERE BECAUSE I WENT

[00:50:02]

SO I MEAN, ALL OF THESE GUYS ARE GETTING ALL THE GOODY STUFF AND THE OLD PEOPLE ARE.

SO THAT'S WHERE I'M STANDING AT.

OK, THE DEVELOPERS, THE ONE THAT PAYS FOR THESE PIPES TO GO IN FOR THEIR SUBDIVISIONS.

WHAT ARE THEY USING NOW OUT THERE? C NINE HUNDRED POLY PIPE.

YEAH, OK, STANDARD.

YEAH, IT'S PRETTY MUCH STANDARD ACROSS THE AREA AND THEY'RE PROBABLY [INAUDIBLE].

WE'LL HAVE A DISCUSSION ON THE DELAHAYE EXPANSION.

WE MIGHT HAVE TO RELOCATE SOME WATER LINES THERE WITHIN RIGHT OF WAYS AND OUTSIDE OF RIGHT OF WAY, SO THERE WILL BE SOME GOING ON EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS.

I THINK CURRENTLY WE'RE DOING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS COMMITTEE AND WE'RE IDENTIFYING THOSE AREAS FOR WATER LINES TO BE REPLACED, EITHER ABANDONED AND THEN REPLACE ACROSS THE STREET OR JUST A TOTAL REPLACEMENT WITHIN THOSE LINES IN ITSELF.

SO WE ARE LOOKING AT THOSE.

THAT'S ALL PART OF OUR RATE STUDY AND EVERYTHING WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW, TOO.

OK, THANK YOU. MM HMM.

OK, THANK YOU. OK.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. BIRKHOFF? I HAVE.

I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.

OK? THE SOUTH PORTION OF OF THIS PLAT BACKS UP TO.

NO, NO. IT'S OH OH, METAL GATE.

THAT'S ALL IT IS.

OKAY? OK.

I BELIEVE THESE HOMES, THE EXISTING HOMES THERE, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THE WATER FLOWS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH IN THAT AREA, AND THERE'S BEEN SOME PROBLEMS WITH DRAINAGE ALONG OLD GATE IN FRONT OF THOSE HOMES.

THIS IS RIGHT PAST THE PRIOR HIGH POWER LINES; CORRECT? CORRECT. I'M SORRY.

THE HIGH POWER LINES GO GO ALONG THERE.

YES. THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE THAT SECTION THERE,YOU CAN SEE THAT. OK, WELL, THE HOUSES ARE JUST SOUTH OF THAT EASEMENT.

OK, SO THEY'RE HAVING THEY HAVE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS IN THAT SUBDIVISION AND THE WATER FLOWS OFF OF THE CURRENT LAND THAT YOU'RE DEVELOPING.

AND IT ALSO FLOWS FROM WEST TO EAST.

AND THERE'S A THE LAST HOUSE EXISTING HOME TO THE EAST BEFORE THE OLDER SUBDIVISION.

THERE'S A PROBLEM BECAUSE THAT WATER CANNOT GET PAST THOSE TREES THAT BORDERS WHITESTONE WITH , OK, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? I DO NOT, YOU KNOW? YOU KNOW, AS AS WE HAVE TODAY, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A DRAINAGE, THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS WERE PRESENTED, YOU KNOW, THAT ADDRESS DRAINAGE ISSUES.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING INTO THE DETENTION POND THAT WAS DESIGNED IN ANOTHER PHASE SO WE CAN GO BACK AND GET THOSE DESIGN PLANS.

I'M NOT THE DESIGN ENGINEER.

I UNDERSTAND.

IF WE CAN GET THE DESIGN ENGINEER IN HIS PLANS, WE CAN PROBABLY COME BACK AND ANSWER THAT QUESTION. OK, SO YOU DON'T KNOW THE DIRECTION THAT THAT WATER FLOW NO. NEEDS TO GO INTO THAT AREA BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THERE'S A IT'S BLOCKED.

YEAH, I'LL BE GLAD. WHY NOT? OK. IF YOU LOOK AT THIS AREA, ALL THE WATER USED TO COME DOWN HERE AND OFF OF THE PROPERTY, THIS IS THE PROPERTY LINE RIGHT HERE.

AND THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'VE DONE IS NORTH OF THAT.

ALL THAT WATER USED TO COME DOWN AND COME INTO THESE LOTS.

WE NEED IT RIGHT.

IT'S ALONG THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE AND IS ALL THE WATER OFF THIS PROPERTY AND TAKES IT DOWN THIS WAY AND THEN OUT TO THE EAST ACROSS THE STREET.

BUT ONE OF THE SOME OF THE PROBLEMS HE TALKED ABOUT FROM SEVERAL YEARS AGO WAS IN THIS AREA RIGHT HERE, WHERE THE WATER IN THIS SUBDIVISION WAS POORLY DESIGNED AND SO THAT THEY HAVE WATER STANDING IN THE DITCHES AND DIFFICULTIES THERE.

WHAT WE DID WAS COME BACK IN AND CLEAR THIS AREA BACK IN HERE, PROBABLY FOUR YEARS AGO, SO THAT THIS WATER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET BACK THIS WAY, BUT IT DID NOT INVOLVE

[00:55:03]

SO IF THEY HAVE SOME TREES OR DEBRIS OR THINGS LIKE THAT IN THE AREA, IT'S NOT GOING TO GO ANYWHERE. BUT WE DID COME BACK ON OUR LOTS SO THAT IF ANY WATER CAME ONTO THAT, WE WOULD TAKE THAT AWAY FROM THEM.

OK. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS ASKING.

THANK YOU. OK.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF EITHER MR. BIRKHOFF, MR., SOLMAN OR GARY OR WHILE YOU'RE AT IT? OK. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION, I GUESS, FOR GARY, BECAUSE THE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING WAS NOT ONLINE AS IT'S I LOOKED AT IT, I LOOKED UP TODAY, IT WAS NOT ONLINE.

AND SO ALL WE'RE GETTING IS, YOU KNOW THAT THEY APPROVED EVERYTHING.

IT WOULD BE VERY NICE TO BE ABLE TO SEE THOSE THOSE MEETINGS OR GET THE MINUTES OF THE MEETINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

YEAH, WE'LL LOOK INTO WHATEVER HAPPENS.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW.

YEAH, I DO LIKE I DO, RELY ON OUR COMMISSIONERS A LOT TO HEAR WHAT THEY'RE WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THOSE THINGS.

SINCE I WAS HERE, I KNOW WE SET UP THIS ROOM AND ALL THE SCREENS.

AND FOR IT AND GARY, WHAT DID YOU DO AFTER I LEFT? OH, OK. SO THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR.

BUT THERE WASN'T ANY ANY OTHER THAT WAS ACTUALLY ALMOST A RECORD MEETING FOR SHORTNESS, EXCEPT FOR THE FIRE HYDRANTS THAT THERE WERE NO COMMENTS FROM.

FROM THE P&Z MEETING WAS ABOUT 10 MINUTES, MAYBE 15.

YOU WERE THERE FOR 10 MINUTES.

OK, THANK YOU.

OK. ANY ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? OK. NOT HEARING ANY, THEN I WILL ASK FOR A MOTION ON OK, THIS MAY BE MORE OF A LEGAL QUESTION, I GUESS, THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT ONE HOME THAT'S AT THE END OF OLD GATE, WHERE THE DRAINAGE BACKS UP.

AND HOW CAN I EXPLAIN THIS WITH IT? IT'S ACTUALLY BLOCKED BY A BERM THAT WAS CREATED OVER THE YEARS IN A FARM FIELD FROM PLOWING AROUND, YOU KNOW, AND EVENTUALLY ALL THE SOIL WORKS TO CREATE A BERM AND THERE'S TREES ON IT NOW.

NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S NOT PART OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S BEING DEVELOPED.

BUT IF THAT PROPERTY OWNER LATER ON CREATES GETS RID OF THAT BERM SO THAT THE PROPERTY CAN DRAIN, IT'LL DRAIN INTO WHITE STONE.

SO IS THAT IS THAT A PROBLEM? DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? THE JASON.

WATER THROUGH? IS THAT A PROBLEM? YEAH, IT'S THE WATER IS FLOWING IN THAT DIRECTION IN BERM.

YOU BREACH THE BERM, THE MORE WATER WILL GO IN.

WE CAN GET GOING BACK TO THE DESIGN PLAN SO WE CAN LOOK AT THE CONTOURS AND SEE WHERE THAT UPSTREAM WATER IS BEING DIRECTED.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE THAT HERE TONIGHT.

BUT THERE IS THAT RISK IF THE WATER IS FLOWING TOWARDS THE BARREL FOR THE WATER ALREADY GOES THAT WAY ANYWAY.

THAT WOULD JUST PUT IT THERE FASTER.

IT GOES THERE, BUT IT'S BLOCKED RIGHT NOW BY A BERM.

AND SO THE WATER ACTUALLY FLOWS FROM EAST TO WEST, AND THEN IT CURVES AROUND TO THE NORTH. YES, EAST TO WEST, THEN TURNS BACK TO THE SOUTH, INSET INTO THE PROPERTY AND GOES BACK TO THE EAST AND GOES OUT RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S THE NORMAL FLOW NOW, BUT IT'S BEEN BLOCKED WITH STUFF OVER THE YEARS ON THAT PROPERTY. IF YOU CAN DO IS TO CLEAR THAT UP AND MAKE THAT DRAINAGE WORK BETTER ON HIS PROPERTY, I DON'T SEE THAT THAT WAS GOING TO CAUSE ANY HARM SINCE THE DRAINAGE IS ALREADY GOING THAT WAY. YEAH.

NOW I'LL ADD ONE OTHER THING WHENEVER WE DESIGN THAT THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE ENGINEERS MAKE IS THAT THE WATER IS FLOWING OFF OF THAT PROPERTY BASED ON THE CONTOURS, AND THAT BERM WOULD NOT NECESSARILY BE BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN THE CALCULATION.

SO IT ASSUMES BASED ON THE SIZE OF THIS PROPERTY, HOW MUCH WATER WILL COME OFF OF IT AND

[01:00:01]

THE FACT THAT THERE'S SOME OTHER IMPEDIMENT PREVENTING THAT WATER FROM GETTING INTO THE DITCH IS NOT REALLY CONSIDERED.

WHEN WE DO, THE DESIGN ON WHAT WE'RE RECEIVING IS BASED ON THE ACREAGE AND HOW QUICKLY THE WATER WOULD RUN OFF.

OK, THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.

THANK YOU. YOU HAVE THE BANDWIDTH, IN OTHER WORDS, TO TAKE ALL OF THAT OVERFLOW CAPACITY IN THERE BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE ADJACENT PROPERTY AND WHERE THE WATER SHOULD FLOW.

STEVE, HAVE WE FIXED THE FIRE HYDRANTS? THE CONTRACTOR WENT OUT THERE TODAY AND TO CONFIRM WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE BASED ON JOHN'S LETTER. THERE WAS CONCRETE THAT WAS OVER POURED AND IS ON THE BOLTS THAT SECURE TO THE GROUND, AND THAT'S NO IMPACT ON THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE FIRE HYDRANT.

IT'S JUST IF YOU WENT TO REPLACE THE FIRE HYDRANT BY TOMORROW WITH THE NEW FIRE HYDRANT, YOU'D HAVE TO CHIP THE CONCRETE OFF SO THEY'RE GOING TO GO BACK.

BREAK THAT OUT FOR THE CONCRETE ADJACENT TO IT.

AND SO YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

ASSUMING IT'S THE COUNCIL'S PLEASURE TO APPROVE THE PLAT, YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THEM APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT SUBJECT TO THAT THE FIRE HYDRANTS BEING? [INAUDIBLE] IN THE FACE OF IT. ALL RIGHT, STEVE, I'VE GOT ONE QUESTION FOR YOU, AND IT'S JUST FOR MY OWN KNOWLEDGE, CONSIDERING THE KIND OF RAINS THAT WE'VE HAD, ESPECIALLY IN THE PAST YEAR HAS, IS THIS DEVELOPMENT GOING TO BE THE DRAINAGE HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO ACCOMMODATE THE UNUSUAL AMOUNT OR VOLUME OF WATER THAT HAS BEEN COMING THROUGH THIS AREA, PARTICULARLY IN TERMS OF? I'M SORRY? OUR ENGINEERS, THEY USE CERTAIN DESIGN CRITERIA THAT ARE DICTATED BY GENERAL ENGINEERING STANDARDS AND FORECAST HUNDRED YEAR RAINFALL.

SO THAT'S WHAT THE DESIGN CRITERIA IS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE FREQUENT, IT REALLY IS DESIGNED WITH THE SAME CAPACITY AND THERE'S NOT REALLY A TECHNIQUE FOR TRYING TO FORECAST YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE RAIN HERE OR DRY HERE.

IT'S REALLY DESIGNED FOR ULTIMATE CAPACITY, 100-YEAR STORM.

SO THE DESIGN NATURE OF 100-YEAR STORM, THERE ARE INTENSITIES THAT YOU APPLY TO THAT THERE WERE SOME LAST NUMBER OF YEARS.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS DONE SOME ADDITIONAL STUDIES ON THOSE INTENSITIES.

AND IN THIS AREA, THOSE INTENSITIES HAVE NOT CHANGED.

HE WENT TO CENTRAL TEXAS.

YOU KNOW, THOSE THOSE INTENSITIES HAVE INCREASED BASED ON THE ON THE STORMS. SO AS WE SEE MORE WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER MORE VIOLENT STORMS OR MORE INTENSE STORMS, THEN YOU KNOW, FROM THE DATA COLLECTED FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PASSING IT ALL DOWN.

THERE'S NOT AN INCREASE IN INTENSITY FROM THE DESIGN CRITERIA THAT'S ESTABLISHED FOR NORTH TEXAS. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THERE SEEMS TO BE MORE RESIDENTIAL CONCERNS HERE IN THE PAST YEAR BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF RAINS THAT WE'VE HAD, THAT THE DRAINAGE, AS YOU KNOW, SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS ARE POISED TO ADDRESS THAT BASICALLY. JOHN, CORRECT ME, IF I'M WRONG, THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BAR DITCHES WE HAVE HERE THAT ARE BEING BUILT.

THE 100 YEAR CAPACITY TO IF YOU HAD A CURB AND GUTTER, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THE SAME 100 YEAR CAPACITY, RIGHT? IT'S JUST UNDERGROUND. SO THE CHANNEL TO TAKE THAT NEW YEAR STORM WITH [INAUDIBLE], YOU HAVE CURB AND GUTTER.

YOU CAN HAVE THE PIPE SIZE AND THEN SIZES TO HANDLE THAT.

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS WERE NOT DESIGNED FOR THE HUNDRED YEAR STORM.

THEY WEREN'T REALLY DESIGNED FOR THE TWO YEARS STORM.

SO MOST OF THOSE DRAINAGE CHANNELS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.

SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, AS WE SEE MORE DEVELOPMENT AND MORE INTENSE STORMS, WHAT FEELS LIKE MORE INTENSE STORMS, THOSE CHANNELS WERE NEVER DESIGNED TO CARRY THAT TYPE OF WORK OR YOU SEE MORE DEVELOPMENT. SO, OH, WE GET MORE WATER AND WE'RE GETTING FASTER.

THAT'S PROBABLY TRUE, BUT THOSE DITCHES ARE LESS THAN THE TWO YEAR STORM, SO THE CRITERIA ONE WAS VERY DIFFERENT WHEN THEY WERE DEVELOPED.

AND IT'S MOST LIKELY THEY WERE NEVER DESIGNED TO MEET ANY CRITERIA.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? OK, THEN I WOULD CALL FOR A MOTION.

[01:05:05]

IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT.

OK. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH TO APPROVE WHITESTONE ESTATES PHASE THREE FINAL PLAT WITH THE CONDITION THAT THE FIRE HYDRANTS BE REPAIRED.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND, OK, ANYONE OPPOSED? OK, FINAL PLAT WITH ONE CONDITION IS APPROVED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YEAH, OK.

QUESTION NOT ONLY THE THOROUGHFARE MAP, BUT I THINK THE ZONING MAP ALSO NEEDED TO BE? THAT IS THE NEXT ONE BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME ISSUES WITHIN THAT.

YEAH. OH, OK.

I DIDN'T KNOW. AND THEN WE GOT TO GO BACK AND DO THE ANNEXATION MAP BECAUSE ANNEXATIONS DON'T MATCH UP TO WHAT THE.

YEAH. SO WE DECIDED INSTEAD OF DOING IT ALL AT ONCE.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, THAT WE HAD NEEDED A MAP FOR THE NEW TRASH ROUTES.

SO HOW TO GET THEM TO WORK ON THAT, TOO.

SO WE'RE SQUARING THINGS UP.

IT'S JUST IT'S TAKEN A LITTLE WHILE.

YES, MA'AM. YEAH.

ANY OTHER UPDATES? OK, THEN I'D LIKE TO NOTE FOR THE RECORDS THAT WE ARE ACCEPTING FOOD DONATIONS FOR THE POLICE, FIRE AND CITY STAFF FROM MARY ELLEN CAVANAUGH, WHO DONATED GATORADE VALUED AT TEN DOLLARS. CINDY DAUGHTERY, WHO DONATED GATORADE VALUED AT 30 DOLLARS.
