THANK Y'ALL. OK, WE HAVE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT, MR.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

MY NAME IS STEVE [INAUDIBLE], 4040 CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY, DALLAS, TEXAS.

I WANTED TO JUST STOP IN TONIGHT AND THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, YOU ALL APPROVED PLATT FOR WHITESTONE THREE, AND IT HAD A CONDITION IN IT.

I JUST WANTED TO BRING THE NEWS BACK TO YOU THAT WE HAVE COMPLETED THAT WORK TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE FEEDBACK.

SO THAT IS COMPLETED FOR THAT PARTICULAR SUBDIVISION.

AND YOU SHOULD BE SEEING HOMES GOING UP REAL SOON IN THAT AREA.

THE REST OF THE PORTION OF IT THAT'S BEEN PLANTED SO FAR IS ALMOST BUILT OUT RIGHT NOW.

SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT GOOD NEWS BACK TO YOU THIS EVENING.

THANK YOU. OK, THANK YOU.

OK. ARE THERE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS? OK, NOT HEARING ANY.

WE WILL THEN MOVE ON TO ITEMS OF INTEREST.

[ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST]

IT IS OPEN TO ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO JOIN.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMMITTEE IS GOING TO MEET WEDNESDAY A WEEK, DECEMBER 15TH AT SIX P.M.. MICHAEL, DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM? THAT ONE WILL PROBABLY GET MOVED BECAUSE OF THE HOLIDAY AT THE REQUEST OF THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS? SO WE WILL PROBABLY PUSH IT TILL THE WEEK AFTER CHRISTMAS, BEFORE JANUARY OR INTO JANUARY, DEPENDING ON HOW THE CALENDAR LOOKS.

OK? ARE YOU CANCELING IT AT THIS TIME? I'M NOT CANCELING IT AT THIS TIME, BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND PEOPLE KEEP A WATCH ON IT BECAUSE WE VERY WELL MAY CANCEL THAT ONE.

OK? WOULD YOU MAKE SURE YOU STAY WITH PATTI SO SHE CAN OR LUKE SO THEY CAN GET IT? OH, ABSOLUTELY. WELL, WE WILL NOTIFY.

WE SHOULD HAVE AN ANSWER BY THE END OF THIS WEEK.

OK, THANK YOU.

OKAY. NEXT, WE WILL GO TO THE INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION ITEMS. THE FIRST ONE IS CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-685 AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR OF PARKER TO EXECUTE A FIVE YEAR CONTRACT WITH REPUBLIC WASTE SERVICES FOR SOLID WASTE SERVICES.

MAYOR COUNCIL I'M ASKING THAT WE TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL FUTURE MEETING.

WE GOT SOME.

WE HAD SOME CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT.

REPUBLIC HAD TO SEND THAT THROUGH THEIR LEGAL COUNSEL, SO THEY WERE WAITING ON THEM TO GO THROUGH THEIR PROCESS AND REVIEWING THOSE CHANGES WE HAVE.

IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL CHANGES, PLEASE SEND THEM TO ME VERY QUICKLY SO WE CAN GET THOSE TO REPUBLIC AND MAKE SURE WE CAN GET THOSE SQUARED AWAY.

SO I'D ASK THAT YOU TABLED THIS ITEM FOR NOW.

GOOD. IS THERE A MOTION? MADAME MAYOR, I'LL MOVE THAT WE TABLE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TWO REGARDING RESOLUTION NUMBER

[2. CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION, AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON RESOLUTION NO. 2021-685 AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR OF PARKER EXECUTING A 5-YEAR CONTRACT WITH REPUBLIC WASTE SERVICES FOR SOLID WASTE SERVICES.]

OK, IS AT, THIS OK AT THIS TIME? I'LL NOTE, FOR THE RECORD, THAT COUNCIL MEMBER JIM REED IS JOINING US VIRTUALLY.

AS YOU CAN SEE, HE IS HERE.

OKAY. HOW'S EVERYBODY GOING? SORRY, I WAS JUST IN THE MEETING.

I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING A LITTLE LATE.

[00:05:02]

THANK YOU. OK? IS THERE A IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. OK.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO SEE IT'S HABIT, TO TABLE THE POTENTIAL CONTRACT WITH REPUBLIC WASTE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? NOT HEARING ANY ALCOHOL FOR THE VOTE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF TABLING THIS ITEM, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

ANYONE OPPOSED? OK, I'LL NOTE FOR THE RECORD, THAT YES.

OK, THANK YOU.

THAT COUNCIL MEMBER REED IS VOTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OTHER MEMBERS TO TABLE THIS ITEM. OK, SO FOUR O, OK.

NEXT ITEM IS ITEM NUMBER THREE.

[3. CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION, AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON RESOLUTION NO. 2021-686 AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR OF PARKER EXECUTING A 3-YEAR CONTRACT WITH DOLIVER ENTERPRISES, LLC. FOR HOME HAZARDOUS WASTE.]

I BELIEVE EVERYBODY HAD A COPY IN IN THEIR PACKET AND THERE WERE SOME CHANGES.

I THINK MR. OLSON IS GOING TO BRIEFLY GO OVER.

YES, MADAME MAYOR, COUNCIL IN THIS ITEM, THERE IS SOME A COUPLE OF CHANGES BEFORE YOU.

THAT WAS PRINTED OUT IS THE RED LINE VERSION OF SOME ADD AND DELETIONS OF SOME TERMINOLOGY. I THINK WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE WANTED.

MR. DICK, I'M GOING TO BUTCHER YOUR LAST NAME.

EVERYBODY DOES. OK. IT'S SIMPLE ENOUGH [INAUDIBLE].

HE'S BEEN AGREEABLE TO EVERYTHING WITHIN HERE CONCERNING THE TITLE THAT THEY'LL TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT ONCE IT ENTERS THEIR TRUCK AND THAT THEY WILL.

WHAT WAS THE OTHER PART HERE? AND TITLE AND CITY COUNCIL GETTING APPROVAL, FINAL APPROVAL OF ANY RATE INCREASES, AND THOSE HAVE BEEN THE BIG CHANGES WITHIN THE CONTRACT.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

MR. [INAUDIBLE] IS HERE AND I MYSELF CAN ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

DICK, CAN YOU KIND OF GIVE A PRESENTATION OR JUST A QUICK SYNOPSIS OF HOW THIS WOULD WORK FOR THE CITY OF PARKER? AND YOU COME UP TO THE MICROPHONE AND JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR US? HELLO, EVERYBODY, MY NAME IS DICK [INAUDIBLE], AND I LIVE AT 1240 COASTAL DRIVE, ROCKWELL, TEXAS.

THE WAY OUR PROGRAM WORKS IS BY PARTNERING WITH US, YOUR RESIDENTS WOULD BE ABLE TO EITHER CALL OR GO ONLINE AND SCHEDULE THEMSELVES A HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PICK UP AT THEIR FRONT PORCH EVERY MONTH, AND THEY CAN USE IT EVERY MONTH OF THE YEAR.

IF THEY WOULD LIKE THE MECHANICS OF THAT, ARE, THEY GO ONLINE, ENTER THEIR INFORMATION, TELL US WHAT THEY'RE PUTTING OUT FOR PICKUP UP TWO GALLONS OF PAINT OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. THEN, ON THAT DAY OR ACTUALLY THE DAY BEFORE, WE'LL SEND THEM A REMINDER EMAIL THAT WILL BE COMING THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE IN SOME CASES, IT MAY HAVE BEEN SEVERAL WEEKS SINCE THEY MADE THE APPOINTMENT.

BUT THEN ON THE APPOINTED DAY, THEY'LL SET THEIR ITEMS ON THEIR FRONT PORCH GO TO WORK, GOING ABOUT THEIR DAY, AND DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY, OUR TEAM WILL COME BY, PICK THOSE ITEMS UP AND TAKE THEM BACK TO OUR WHAT WE CALL THE AGGREGATION FACILITY, WHICH IS IN MESQUITE. AND THEN THE PEOPLE WILL COME HOME AND THEIR ITEMS WILL BE REMOVED.

IT'S VERY SIMPLE, VERY CONVENIENT, AND WE HAVE RESIDENTS OR CUSTOMERS IN HOUSTON, IN THE HOUSTON AREA AND THE AUSTIN AREA AND THE DFW AREA, AND EVERYBODY LOVES THE SERVICE.

IT'S WAY BETTER THAN THE ANNUAL EVENT WHERE EVERYONE STANDS IN LINE FOR TWO OR THREE HOURS AND THEN THE TRUCK FILLS UP.

THEY DON'T GET RID OF THEIR STUFF.

SO IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM AND WE GET LOTS OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK ON IT.

COULD YOU CLARIFY SOMETHING FOR ME? SURE. SO WHEN A PERSON REGISTERS FOR PICKUP, THEY HAVE TO SCHEDULE IT EVERY TIME THEY WANT TO PICK. CORRECT.

AND IS THAT AT THE SAME TIME A MONTH, EVERY MONTH? RIGHT. I THINK WHEN WE LOOKED AT THIS, WE'VE IDENTIFIED, I BELIEVE, DON'T HOLD ME TO IT, BUT IT'S THE FOURTH THURSDAY OF EACH MONTH.

AND SO THE DATE WILL CHANGE AROUND A LITTLE BIT.

BUT THE FOURTH THURSDAY WILL BE PARKER'S DAY AND THEY'LL KNOW THAT.

AND WHEN THEY SIGN UP, THERE'S BIG RED LETTERS.

YOUR PICKUP DAY IS WHATEVER THAT DATE IS AND THEY'LL KNOW THAT, AND THEN THEY WILL GET THE REMINDER EMAIL THE DAY BEFORE.

RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. SO I NOTICE IN THIS UNDER YOUR INDEMNITY CLAUSE, AND THIS MIGHT

[00:10:04]

SO THE WAY THAT I READ THAT IS IF IT GOES OVER THEIR INSURANCE AMOUNT OF SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC HAPPENS THAT THE CITY WOULD THEN BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THAT.

WHERE ARE YOU, MICHAEL? 1016 INDEMNITY.

SO I'M HAPPY TO APPLY TO EXECUTIVE SESSION IF YOU WANT TO ASK A LEGAL QUESTION.

HAPPY TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.

I THINK THAT ONE IS A FAIRLY LARGE QUESTION FOR ME.

OK, AT THIS TIME, WE'RE GOING TO RECESS INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AND WE WILL RETURN, I PROMISE. AT THIS TIME, IS THERE ANY ACTION FROM EXECUTIVE SESSION?TABLE THIS ITEM FOR FURTHER CLARIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT BY THE VENDOR.

OK. WE HAVE A MOTION TO TABLE.

IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND THAT.

OK, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO TABLE ANY DISCUSSION? OK. HEARING NONE.

I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF TABLING THIS.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

OK, MOTION.

THIS ITEM IS TABLED.

OK. ITEM NUMBER FOUR, CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION, AND ACTION ON RESOLUTION NUMBER

[4. CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION, AND ACTION ON RESOLUTION NO. 2021-687 AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT WITH AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK FOR BANK DEPOSITORY SERVICES.]

THERE YOU ARE.

YOU WANT TO GIVE US AN UPDATE? SURE, I'LL RUN THROUGH IT.

IN NOVEMBER, I'M SORRY.

[INAUDIBLE] WE STARTED THE PROCESS FOR AN RFP FOR DEPOSITORY SERVICES.

JIM, CAN YOU HEAR US? YES. OK.

THERE ARE A FEW SERVICES WITH THE GRANT.

YES, SIR. RFP FOR DEPOSITORY SERVICES.

YES. SO I WENT THROUGH AND WE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE, AND THEN I WENT AND STARTED LOCATING TREASURY MANAGEMENT INFORMATION ON WEBSITES FOR THE LOCAL BANKS.

I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A COUPLE.

IT'S KIND OF HARD TO FIND. SO I ACTUALLY WENT OUT AND VISITED IN PERSON WITH SEVERAL OF THE BANKS TO TRY TO GET INTEREST IN SUBMITTING RFQ OR RFP.

I SPOKE WITH EIGHT DIFFERENT FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.

OUT OF THE EIGHT, WE RECEIVED TWO PROPOSALS.

WE RECEIVED A PROPOSAL FROM AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK AND ONE FROM PROSPERITY.

I TRIED TO KIND OF HIGHLIGHT THE BULLET POINTS OF THE RFP AND PUT IT INTO A SPREADSHEET HERE THAT KIND OF COMPARE THE TWO BANKS.

THEY ALL DID A REALLY GOOD JOB.

IT'S A LOT OF WORK DOING THE RFP, FIRST OF ALL.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY YOU DON'T GET A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM THE BANKS.

BUT WE DID RECEIVE TWO AND THE KIND OF, THE BIG DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO BANKS WERE ONE OF THEM WAS A SECURITY SAFEKEEPING.

AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK DOES OFFER IT.

PROSPERITY BANK DOES NOT OFFER THAT.

AND THE OTHER DIFFERENCE WAS FOR BANKING SUPPLIES.

AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK WILL PROVIDE FREE CHECKS AND DEPOSIT SLIPS, AND PROSPERITY BANK IS GOING TO CHARGE US FOR THOSE ITEMS, BUT AT THEIR COST, AS FAR AS COMPENSATION.

WE DID RECEIVE A VERY GOOD OFFER FROM AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK.

CURRENTLY, WE DON'T RECEIVE ANY INTEREST.

WE HAVE TO HAVE A $1.8 MILLION IN THE BANK AND THERE'S NO INTEREST THAT WE RECEIVED, BUT THEY DO WAIVE THE BANK FEES.

THIS TIME THEY CAME BACK WITH THAT SAME OFFER, BUT THE INCREASE IS A $2 MILLION AND THAT WAS THEIR SECOND OPTION.

THE FIRST OPTION.

THEY OFFER AN EARNINGS CREDIT RATE OF 0.2% ON MONEY THAT WE HAVE UP TO TWO MILLION OR ANYTHING OVER $2 MILLION.

I'M SORRY. LET ME REPHRASE THAT THEY OFFER A 0.2% INTEREST RATE ON ALL MONEY THAT'S IN THE BANK. PROSPERITY WAS GOING TO OFFER 0.05% AND THEN BOTH BANKS HAVE A

[00:15:09]

AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK OFFERS A THEY CALL IT A PUBLIC FUNDS MONEY MARKET RATE, AND IT PAYS 10 BASIS POINTS OVER WHATEVER TEXTS ARE OR ANY OF THE POOLS WOULD PAY.

RIGHT NOW, THAT RATES 0.01 PERCENT, SO IT WOULD BE IT WOULD INCREASE THAT RATE TO 0.11 PERCENT. PROSPERITY BANK OFFERS A PREMIER MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT, AND IT'S GOT SEVERAL TIERS, STARTING AT 0.05% TO 0.15%.

SO I TRIED TO KIND OF ON THE NEXT PAGE THE TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS.

I TRIED TO LIST THOSE OUT BASED ON LAST YEAR'S INFORMATION, SO I TOOK OUR BALANCES THAT WE HAD IN THE BANK FROM THE LAST YEAR.

OPTION ONE WITH AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK, I SHOWED WHAT THE EARNINGS CREDIT WOULD BE AND THEN ALSO SHOWED WHAT THE MONTHLY CHARGES WOULD BE.

AND EACH OF THE MONTHS, IT WAS ADVANTAGEOUS FOR US TO HAVE BEEN ON THIS OPTION ONE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR.

AND THE REASON THAT OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR THE BANK CHARGE WAS $865 WAS BECAUSE THAT WAS WHEN WE HAD 14 BANK ACCOUNTS.

SINCE THEN, WE'VE CONDENSED. WE REDUCED THAT NUMBER.

SO WE DON'T HAVE ALL THOSE CHARGES NOW.

SO WHEN THE OTHER CONTRACT WAS SIGNED, IT WAS PROBABLY ADVANTAGEOUS TO GO WITH THIS OPTION BECAUSE OF THE BANK CHARGES.

BUT BASED ON LAST YEAR'S INFORMATION, IF WE WERE TO CHOSE OPTION ONE, WE WOULD HAVE NETTED ABOUT $2200 WITH A PROSPERITY BANK, KIND OF THE SAME STRUCTURE THAT THEY OFFERED US TAKING LAST YEAR INFORMATION WE WOULD HAVE.

WE WOULD HAVE NETTED ABOUT $1600.

SO AFTER REVIEWING THESE PROPOSALS, IT STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK BE AWARDED THE CONTRACT FOR A THREE YEAR CONTRACT WITH TWO ONE-YEAR RENEWALS, SO IF COUNCIL HAS ANY QUESTIONS THEY WOULD LIKE ME TO ANSWER, I'LL BE MORE HAPPY TO.

OVER THAT COURSE OF THAT THREE YEAR PERIOD, DO YOU THINK WE'LL HAVE THE SAME KIND OF RETURN? SO AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK WILL OFFER THAT 0.2% FOR THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT.

AND THEN ON THE INVESTMENT, THEY WILL ALWAYS OFFER 10 BASIS POINTS OVER WHAT TECHSTARS PAYING. OK, SO SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT IT WOULD BE THE SAME ADVANTAGEOUS SITUATION THAT WE'RE SEEING FROM THE LAST EVALUATION? YES, SIR. OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WELL, THEN I WOULD TAKE A A MOTION.

MADAME MAYOR, I'M GOING TO MOVE THAT WE APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-687 AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT WITH AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK FOR BANK DEPOSITORY SERVICES.

OK. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT? OK.

WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER AND THE SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-687.

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

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF PASSING RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-687.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

[INAUDIBLE] 2021-687.

THANK YOU. OK.

MOTION PASSES FOUR ZERO.

THANK YOU. AND GRANT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT WORK.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS WITH YOUR EXPLANATIONS.

IT MADE IT VERY EASY.

THANK YOU. YES.

MAYBE TO MAKE A GOOD DECISION, THEY'RE THINKING, OK.

ITEM NUMBER FIVE CONSIDERATION AND OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NUMBER.

[5. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NO. 2021-688 ON INVESTMENT POLICY.]

DON'T GO AWAY, GRANT.

SO WITH THE INVESTMENT POLICY, I THINK [INAUDIBLE] COUNCIL MEMBER, MICHAEL SLAUGHTER HAVE KIND OF DISCUSSED THIS PROBABLY SHOULD BE TABLED BECAUSE WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO MEET AND GO OVER THIS ITEM.

I DID PROPOSE TWO CHANGES, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE TO REVIEW THE WHOLE POLICY, MAKE ANY CHANGES THAT WE NEED TO MAKE AND DO THAT ALL AT ONE TIME.

SO THERE WERE PROPOSALS ON THE TABLE THAT.

[00:20:03]

OK. IS THERE A SECOND? OK. TO BE CLEAR, I THINK HE MEANT TO SAY THAT HE NEED TO REVIEW ALL THE RECOMMENDED NAME CHANGES ARE PROPOSED THEN, NOT THAT THE COMMITTEE WAS GOING TO MAKE THE CHANGES RIGHT.

WELL, THE COMMITTEE IS GOING TO PROPOSE THE CHANGES THAT THEY WANT TO BRING BACK.

COUNCIL. CORRECT. YES.

OK. OK.

OK. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO TABLE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-688, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE TO TABLE THIS MOTION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

ANYONE OPPOSED? NO.

IN FAVOR OF TABLE. THANK YOU. MOTION CARRIES FOUR ZERO.

BOY, WE'RE ON A ROLL TODAY.

YEAH, OK.

OK. AND HERE WE HAVE THE CHIEF.

OK. ITEM NUMBER SIX CONSIDERATION AND OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NUMBER

[6. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NO. 2021-689 APPROVING AN AMENDED WYLIE JAIL SERVICES INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.]

CHIEF BROOKS. [INAUDIBLE] MAYOR AND COUNCIL I AM RICHARD BROOKS, POLICE CHIEF.

AS YOU RECALL, IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, WE SIGNED OUR FIRST CONTRACT WITH THE CITY OF WILEY AND THEIR JAIL SERVICES.

THAT CONTRACT EXPIRED SEPTEMBER 30TH OF THIS YEAR, AND THE PROPOSED CONTRACT IN FRONT OF YOU IS THE EXACT SAME DOCUMENT WE SIGNED BACK IN MARCH.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SECTION TWO, WHEN THEY REALIZED THE CONTRACT WAS GOING TO EXPIRE AND THEY WENT THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS WE GO THROUGH OF TRYING TO GET IT ON AN AGENDA AND GET IT DONE BEFORE SEPTEMBER.

THEY REALIZED THAT THEY COULD DO IT A BETTER WAY.

SO WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IN THE CHANGE IN SECTION TWO ON UNDER THE TERM IS THAT THIS TERM WILL EXPIRE SEPTEMBER 30TH OF 2022 AND WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, PROVIDED NEITHER PARTY GIVES 30 DAY NOTICE TO THE CONTENT THAT THEY WANT TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT. THE SAME ANY RATE INCREASES WILL STILL BE HANDLED EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.

ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE GOING CURRENTLY.

THEY'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY RATE INCREASE, AND I'M SURE THEY'LL START THEIR BUDGET PROCESS IN 2022 GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

BUT NOTHING ELSE IN THIS CONTRACT CHANGES FROM WHAT WE DID IN MARCH, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THIS CONTRACT, WILL RUN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2022, AND THEN WE'LL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW WITHOUT HAVING TO COME BACK TO EITHER WILEY'S CITY COUNCIL OR PARKER CITY COUNCIL.

SO STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE SIGN THIS CONTRACT.

OK.

CHIEF BROOKS, I LIKE THIS IDEA, AND THE ONLY THING THAT I WANT TO ASK IS THAT IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE COULD HAVE SOME TYPE OF, I GUESS, TRIGGER WHERE WE WOULD KNOW THAT THIS IS GOING TO RENEW? I MEAN, I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY WE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH IT AGAIN.

BUT I WOULD THINK THAT IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE WANT TO KNOW BEFORE AUTOMATICALLY [INAUDIBLE]. THAT'S SOMETHING I COULD CERTAINLY PUT ON MY CALENDAR AND WE COULD BRING FORTH AS A DISCUSSION ITEM THAT ENDS ON SEPTEMBER 30TH.

THIS CONTRACT WILL EXPIRE AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT IF THAT'S APPROPRIATE.

CAN I? AT LEAST ONE MONTH BEFORE SO WE CAN AT LEAST KIND OF LOOK AT, I MEAN, IN MY VIEW, OBVIOUSLY, OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS PLEASE, YOU KNOW, HAVE A FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS, BUT I'D LIKE TO AT LEAST KNOW SO WE HAVE TIME TO REACT.

IF THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT CHANGE, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE, SO [INAUDIBLE] BE MISSING OUT.

WELL, IT WOULDN'T AUTOMATICALLY RENEW WITH A CHANGE.

IT'LL ONLY RENEW IF IT'S THE SAME IF ANY CHANGES ARE PROPOSED.

IT WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK THROUGH THE PROCESS, SO IT WOULD BE THE SAME CONTRACT AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED AGAIN.

YEAH,I UNDERSTAND. WHAT I MEANT, IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER CHANGES FOR MAYBE A REASON, WE DECIDED WE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE IT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD TO HAVE IT OPEN SO THAT WE CAN AT LEAST KIND OF DISCUSS IT. AND IT PROBABLY WOULD BE A TWO MINUTE DISCUSSION, POTENTIALLY.

BUT AT LEAST [INAUDIBLE].

SURE. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS? I'M OPEN TO LISTEN, BUT I JUST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IT IS PROBABLY A VERY, YOU KNOW, BENIGN

[00:25:01]

BUT KIND OF LIKE TO KNOW.

CHIEF, WOULD THIS BE A TOPIC THAT WOULD POSSIBLY COME UP DURING THE BUDGET SESSIONS IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WE HAD? YOU HAD SOME CONCERNS WITH HOW THE WILEY IN LOCAL AGREEMENT WAS GOING.

WOULD THAT BE A PROPER TIME FOR US TO DISCUSS? IF THERE WAS A NEED FOR ANY CHANGE TO THE AGREEMENT, SO THAT WOULD PROVIDE A DEFINITE TIME THAT WE WOULD KNOW IT WOULD BE ADDRESSED.

YEAH. AND ANY RATE CHANGES, I THINK, WOULD GO THROUGH THEIR BUDGET PROCESS AND NOTIFY US.

SO IT'S GOING TO COME UP COULD POTENTIALLY COME UP DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS.

BUT IF IT DOESN'T, I'LL PUT IT ON MY CALENDAR FOR SOMETIME IN THE FIRST OF AUGUST AS A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM.

SO IT CAN BE [INAUDIBLE]. THAT'S WHERE I WAS THINKING WE CAN PUT IT ON A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM WHERE IT'S JUST IT MAY BE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, WHERE IT'S JUST CONTRACT REVIEW.

IT SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN. WOULD THAT WORK? YES, MA'AM. OK.

PATTI, WOULD YOU? MAYOR I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021.689 APPROVING AN AMENDED WILEY JAIL SERVICES INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT.

OK. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND, MADAME MAYOR.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE INNER LOCAL EXCUSE ME, RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-689. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, THEN I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

ANYONE OPPOSED? YOU'RE VOTING IN FAVOR OF MR.REED.

OK, MOTION PASS.

OK, THANK YOU.

MOTION PASSES FOUR ZERO.

OK. OK, NEXT.

WE HAVE CONSIDERATION AND OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-690

[7. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NO. 2021-XXX ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH TEXAS LEGENDS GUN RANGE AND TRAINING CENTER, LLC. AND THE CITY OF PARKER FOR RANGE USE FOR CERTAIN CITY EMPLOYEES.]

MAYOR AND COUNCIL AGAIN RICHARD BROOKS, POLICE CHIEF, THIS YEAR WE JUST RECENTLY COMPLETED A QUALIFICATION AND WE USE THE TEXAS LEGENDS GUN RANGE AND TRAINING CENTER.

THE COST FOR THAT TWO DAY EVENT WAS THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DOLLARS, SO WE INQUIRED ABOUT AN EXPANDED AGREEMENT WITH THEM TO INCREASE OUR ABILITY TO FIREARMS TRAIN MEMBERS OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

THEY WERE VERY GRACIOUS AND MADE US AN OFFER.

SO INITIALLY THEY IN OUR DISCUSSIONS THERE WAS A MISCOMMUNICATION ABOUT THE OFFER THAT THEY MADE US WOULD INCLUDE ALL CITY EMPLOYEES WHEN WE WENT BACK TO FINALIZE, HE SAID, WELL, WAIT, THAT'S A LARGER NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAN YOUR DEPARTMENT.

SO THERE WAS SOME CHANGE THERE.

SO THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT NUMBERS HERE OF OFFER THAT HE MADE.

FOR ALL CITY EMPLOYEES TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE RANGE.

THAT WOULD BE A $3300 MEMBERSHIP.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO DONATE ELEVEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY SEVEN DOLLARS, GIVING A COST OF THE CITY OF TWENTY ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE DOLLARS PER YEAR.

IF WE ONLY DO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT THIRTY THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS, THEY'RE GOING TO DONATE TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES REALIZING A COST FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OF EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS.

SO FOR FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY EXTRA DOLLARS, WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME SUBSTANTIAL USE OF THIS RANGE. WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT ABOUT IT IS, IT'S CLOSE.

MOST OF THE RANGES THAT WE HAVE ABILITY TO GO TO, THAT POLICE FIRING CAN OCCUR.

THEY'RE A LONG WAY AWAY.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE IN SHERMAN, WHICH COLLIN COUNTY'S RANGE THAT WE CAN ACCESS.

THEY WERE CHARGED AS $500 PER TRIP THERE IS IN MCKINNEY.

AND IT'S A HUGE PROCESS TO GET THAT ACCOMPLISHED JUST IN TRAVEL TIME.

SO I'M VERY ENCOURAGED WITH THIS OFFER.

IT'S GOING TO GREATLY BENEFIT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

BUT INCLUDED IN THIS MEMBERSHIP IS THE SELECTION OF FOUR PRIMARY MEMBERS WHO WILL RECEIVE UNLIMITED FREE PISTOL RANGE USE AND ONE FREE TARGET PER VISIT, A SIX DOLLARS PER VISIT

[00:30:08]

AND THOSE FEES WOULD BE CHARGED AT THE TIME THE MEMBER USES THE RANGE.

ALL OTHER EMPLOYEES WILL BE CHARGED $11 PER VISIT FOR A PISTOL RANGE USE AND $16 PER VISIT FOR RIFLE RANGE USE AND ONE FREE TARGET PER VISIT.

THESE FEES WOULD ALSO BE PAID AT THE TIME THE RANGE IS USED.

ADDITIONALLY, THEY HAVE AGREED TO ALLOW THE CITY TO PAY FOR QUARTERLY TRAINING. SO WHAT WOULD HAPPEN DURING THAT TIME IS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES WHO USE IT DURING THAT QUARTERLY TRAINING PERIOD.

SO LET'S PICK A MONTH, LET'S SAY APRIL.

THEY'RE GOING TO TABULATE THE NUMBER OF USES AND THEY WILL BUILD THE CITY SO THE OFFICERS COULD GO USE THE FACILITY.

WE WOULD PROVIDE THEM WITH ONE TRIP AND AMMUNITION AND TARGET.

AND THEN THE CITY WOULD BE BILLED AND WE WOULD PAY THAT OUT OF OUR FIREARMS TRAINING BUDGET. I'M VERY ENCOURAGED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THEN WHAT WE COULD DO IS SPLIT THE QUALIFICATIONS INTO QUARTERS.

SO WE DO A QUARTER OF THE DEPARTMENT EACH QUARTER AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY THAT $320 FEE FOR A TWO-DAY RANGE QUALIFICATION.

AND YOU CAN SPEND ADDITIONAL TIME BECAUSE YOU'RE DOING LESS PEOPLE.

YOU'RE NOT DOING SIX IN ONE DAY, YOU'RE DOING TWO OR THREE.

SO IT HAS A LOT OF TRAINING AND SKILL IMPROVEMENT POTENTIAL.

IF THIS AGREEMENT IS APPROVED, THEN WHAT WE INTEND TO DO IS OVER A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS RAISE THE MINIMUM QUALIFYING SCORE OF EMPLOYEES IN THE USE OF A PARTICULAR WEAPON SYSTEM.

SO WE'RE GOING TO REQUIRE IN THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE GO FROM 70 TO 80.

AND THEN THE SECOND YEAR FROM 80 TO 90 AND THEN MAKE 90 BE THE PASSING SCORE FOR POLICE OFFICERS QUALIFYING WITH A WEAPON SYSTEM.

HAVING A RANGE AVAILABLE IS SHOULD WE EXPERIENCE AN EMPLOYEE WHO DOES NOT QUALIFY AND THAT MEANS THAT THEY SHOT THREE TIMES IN A DAY AND DID NOT MEET THIS CURRENT SCORE OF THE AGENCY. THEN WE COULD PUT THEM IN REMEDIAL TRAINING AND THEN WORK THEM THROUGH A A PROCESS TO IMPROVE THEIR SKILLS.

ALL OF THIS PROGRAM, ONCE IMPLEMENTED, I BELIEVE, WILL INCREASE THE PROFICIENCY OF THE EMPLOYEES AND IT WOULD HELP INSULATE THE CITY FROM LIABILITY SHOULD AN OFFICER DISCHARGE A FIREARM.

NOW AGAIN, IT'S GOING TO BE A TWO AND A HALF YEAR PROGRAM.

BUT UPON THE COMPLETION OF THE PROGRAM, I'M GOING TO FEEL MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE AS THE CHIEF THAT WE'RE REQUIRING A MUCH GREATER THRESHOLD IN THE USE OF A WEAPON SYSTEM THAT IS DESIGNED TO CAUSE GREAT HARM OR DEATH.

SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM FROM THE CITY.

TEXAS LEGENDS HAVE BEEN VERY GRACIOUS IN THEY'RE WORKING WITH US TO GET A MANAGEABLE FEE FOR A DEPARTMENT OUR SIZE.

SO STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT WE ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND APPROVE IT.

COUNCIL MEMBER REED, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR COMMENT? I JUST MEANT.

HE FROZE. CHIEF MOST OF THE TIME YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN TO THAT RANGE.

SO IT'S A VERY TOP NOTCH RANGE AND I THINK THEY DID A GREAT JOB THERE.

SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PLAN.

WITH THE QUESTION I HAD IS THAT OUR PROFICIENCY RANGE THING OR RANGING THAT YOU SEE RIGHT NOW SAID GO FROM 17 TO 80, WHERE ARE WE NOW? WE'RE CURRENTLY AT THE MINIMUM T, CLOSE ACCEPTABLE PASSING LEVEL OF 70.

OKAY. SO THIS WOULD BE ESSENTIALLY A 12 PERCENT INCREASE IN PROFICIENCY.

[00:35:01]

WE DID HAVE TWO OFFICERS IN THE 80S.

EVERYONE ELSE WAS IN THE 90S.

SO BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN THOSE PEOPLE ARE IN THE 80S THAT WERE WORKING THROUGH THEIR ISSUE TO IMPROVE THEIR SKILL.

SO BUT WE CURRENTLY HAVE NO OFFICERS IN THAT 70 PERCENT RANGE, WHICH IS VERY GOOD.

VERY GOOD. CAN I? MY QUESTION IS WHEN YOU HIRE A NEW OFFICER, WHAT IS THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT CURRENTLY AT 70, BUT WHEN WE WOULD HIRE THEM, THEY WOULD HAVE TO QUALIFY, WHATEVER OUR DEPARTMENT OF POLICY STATES. SO IF IT'S NEXT YEAR, IT'LL BE 80 PERCENT AND THE YEAR AFTER WILL BE 90 AND IT'LL BE 90 MOVING FORWARD.

WOULDN'T THAT? I MEAN, I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT THEY BE IN THE 80S OR 90S, BUT WOULD THAT REDUCE THE POOL OF PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF EMPLOYING LATER ON? I DON'T BELIEVE SO.

BECAUSE WE WOULD WORK WITH THEM.

[INAUDIBLE] LICENSE.

YOU HAVE TO HIT 80 TO DO THAT.

SO YEAH, I DON'T BELIEVE IT WOULD BE A DETERRENT BECAUSE WE WOULD WORK WITH THEM. SHOULD THEY FAIL TO QUALIFY AT THAT LEVEL, THEN WE TRAIN THEM, WHICH IS IMPORTANT.

SHOOTING IS IS A IMPROVABLE SKILL FOR ALMOST EVERYONE.

I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYBODY THAT YOU DON'T WORK WITH THEM AND WE NEED MORE WORK IN IN THOSE WEAPONS SYSTEM AND THIS WOULD PROVIDE THAT.

SO I WOULD SAY ALSO TO ADD TO THAT, JUST SO YOU KNOW, THE CURRENT ACADEMIES IN NORTH TEXAS REQUIRE 90 TO GRADUATE FROM THE POLICE ACADEMY.

THE THREE THAT I'VE TAUGHT AT HAVE ALL REQUIRED 90 OR YOU DON'T PASS THAT SEGMENT OF THE POLICE ACADEMY. SO I THINK WE'LL BE OK THERE.

BUT MY QUESTION FOR YOU, CHIEF IS THE WAY THIS IS SET UP.

I KNOW IT'S PER OFFICER AND YOU NAME MEMBERS.

ARE THEY WILLING TO SWITCH OUT THOSE MEMBERS MIDWAY THROUGH IF, FOR INSTANCE, SOMEONE IS NO LONGER WITH OUR DEPARTMENT OR WE HIRE SOMEBODY ON? ARE THEY WILLING TO MAKE THOSE SWAPS? YES. WE CURRENTLY HAVE TWO FIREARMS INSTRUCTORS.

SO THOSE TWO PEOPLE WOULD BE TWO OF THE FOUR AND THEN WE WOULD PROBABLY SELECT AND THIS WOULD BE A MOVING THE OTHER TWO WOULD BE THE ONES THAT USE IT THE MOST.

WHEN YOU OFFERED, THIS WOULD BE VOLUNTARY UNLESS YOU'RE IN REMEDIAL TRAINING.

SO WHEN YOU MAKE THINGS VOLUNTARY, NOT EVERYONE'S GOING TO DO IT.

SO NOT EVERYONE'S GOING TO GO EVERY QUARTER FOR FREE, BUT THE ONES THAT REALLY WANT TO BE GOOD AND REALLY WANT TO USE IT.

SO WE WOULD BE MOVING THAT AROUND THOSE OTHER TWO BASED ON THE PEOPLE AND WORKING WITH TEXAS LEGENDS. SO THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING, BUT WE GIVE THEM THE NAMES.

SO AND I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT I'M HIGHLY IMPRESSED.

I MEAN, I KNOW THAT WE ARE PARKER, BUT I APPRECIATE THE STANDARD THAT YOU CONTINUE TO GROW THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO AND HAVE CONTINUED TO GROW IT TO AS YOU'VE BEEN THE CHIEF TO HOLD IT TO A HIGHER LEVEL.

AND I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THAT.

AND. IN THE FORWARD THINKING OF UTILIZING SOMETHING LIKE THIS, IF YOU THINK YOUR OFFICERS WILL UTILIZE IT, SO THAT KIND OF GOES INTO MY NEXT QUESTION.

HAS THERE BEEN AN INTEREST IN THE CONTINUAL SELF TRAINING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PAYING FOR, SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND SHOOT? HAS THERE BEEN AN INTEREST AMONG THE OFFICERS TO ACTUALLY GO DO THAT? YES, BUT NOT ALL.

AND THAT'S THE WAY WE HAVE SEEN IT WITH OTHER AGENCIES AS WELL.

YOU HAVE THOSE THAT REALLY LIKE TO GO SHOOT AND REALLY WANT TO WORK ON IT.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THOSE THAT JUST WANT TO QUALIFY WHEN YOU MAKE THEM GO AND.

BUT THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT MOST OF THE TIME MIGHT HAVE TO ENTER THE REMEDIAL TRAINING PROCESS. AND LET'S SAY WE HAVE SOMEBODY THAT QUALIFIES, BUT WE OBSERVE THE FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR OBSERVES A DEFICIENCY.

THEN WE CAN REQUIRE THEM TO ATTEND THOSE QUARTERLY TRAININGS BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO PAY THEM AND WE'RE GOING TO PAY TO DO IT.

BUT ALL THE REST OF THE TIME, THE OFFICERS CAN GO ON THEIR OWN AND PAY THIS REDUCED RATE AND SHOOT, AND WE HAVE SEVERAL THAT HAVE INDICATED TO US THEY WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE REDUCED RATES OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKET.

SO THAT'S ENCOURAGING AS WELL.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OK, THEN I WOULD ACCEPT A MOTION.

MADAME MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-690 ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE TEXAS LEGENDS GUN RANGE AND TRAINING CENTER IN THE CITY OF PARKER FOR RANGE USE

[00:40:02]

OK. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

OK. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-690.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, I WILL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

I AGREE TO GO FORWARD WITH RESOLUTION 2021-690.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER REED.

A MOTION PASSES FOUR ZERO.

THANK YOU. OK.

DISCUSSION, CONSIDERATION, AND ACTION RESOLUTION NO. 2021-691 AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR OF PARKER EXECUTING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PARKER, COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS, PROVIDING FOR THE AMENDMENT OF RESOLUTION 2012-378 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARKER AUTHORIZING OFFICIAL BANKING SIGNATURES.]

WE THOUGHT THAT THIS PERHAPS WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA AND TERRY BROUGHT IT TO OUR ATTENTION AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

SO THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT CANNOT HAPPEN.

CHECKS CAN BE SIGNED BY TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS OR ONE STAFF MEMBER AND A COUNCIL MEMBER.

SO ANY COMMENTS DISCUSSION? DOES THAT MEAN I CAN'T GO TO THE BAHAMAS? YOU CAN GO. IT'S JUST YOU GOT TO PAY YOUR OWN WAY.

I'M SORRY. NOW, IF YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT SOMEPLACE ELSE.

AND I JUST I HAVE A QUESTION, IT MAY BE MORE KIND OF ORDER TYPE OF THING.

BUT IN THE RESOLUTION, DOES IT NEED TO STATE THE INDIVIDUAL'S NAMES? THINKING OF YEARS GONE IN THE FUTURE? OR CAN IT JUST STATE THE TITLES OF THE PEOPLE? THE REASON WE DID THAT IS THAT THAT WILL CHANGE ANNUALLY BECAUSE.

THE RESOLUTION. WELL, THE RESOLUTION BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE WE HAVE AS BANK SIGNERS LIKE RIGHT NOW, MICHAEL IS THE CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, WHICH ISN'T AN ISSUE, BUT WE COULD HAVE THE MAYOR AS THE CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER TOO.

SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON.

AND THEN IT COULD BE A DIFFERENT COUNCIL MEMBER.

SO THIS WILL BE SOMETHING WE'LL HAVE TO ANNUALLY DO WHEN WE DO THE BANKING SIGNATORIES FOR THE CITY OF PARKER.

GENERALLY, EVERY JUNE, COUNCIL HAS TO SELECT A CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND NAME THEM AND THEN THE FINANCIAL, THE INVESTMENT OFFICERS.

SO THAT'S.

BUT IT COULD BE EASIER, BUT I'M NOT SURE.

SINCE THE LAST ONE WAS 2013, I THOUGHT I'D TRY AND HELP, SO WE DIDN'T HAVE A.

YEAH. WELL, THAT ONE I CAN'T TALK ABOUT HERE.

[LAUGHTER] ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS NOT HEARING ANY? I WOULD ACCEPT A MOTION.

MADAME MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE.

[INAUDIBLE] ON THE RIGHT ONE.

SIX NINETY ONE.

RESOLUTION 2021-691 AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR OF PARKER TO EXECUTE A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PARKER COLLIN COUNTY, PROVIDING FOR THE AMENDMENT OF RESOLUTION 2012-378 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARKER AUTHORIZING OFFICIAL BANKING SIGNATURES.

OK, IS THERE A SECOND? I WOULD SECOND A MOTION.

OK, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER LYNCH AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER REED TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-691.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, I WILL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING RESOLUTION 2021-691.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

OK RESOLUTION 2021-691.

ANY OPPOSED NOT HEARING ANY MOTION PASSES FOUR ZERO?

[00:45:04]

[9. CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NO. 2021-691, MAKING APPOINTMENTS TO THE TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION.]

I'M SORRY.

SIX. OH, OK.

WHAT CAN I SAY IT DOESN'T.

OK. WHEN WE APPOINTED FOLKS TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE, THERE WAS ONE VACANT POSITION FOR AN ALTERNATIVE AND WE DO HAVE AN APPLICATION FOR THAT AND HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY GOT A COPY OF CINDY [INAUDIBLE] APPLICATION.

AND IF THERE'S ANY COMMENTS OR DISCUSSION ON THAT? MADAME MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE GRACIOUSLY ACCEPT THE APPLICATION FOR MS. CINDY LANE APPOINTING HER UNDER RESOLUTION NUMBER 2021-692 TO THE VACANT ALTERNATE FOUR POSITION OF THE PARKS AND REC'S COMMISSION.

OK. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.

OK. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER IN A SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM MEYER TO APPOINT CINDY LANE TO THE ALTERNATE POSITION NUMBER FOUR ON PARKS AND REC COMMISSION.

ANY FURTHER COMMENTS? THEN I'LL CALL FOR YOUR VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPOINTING CINDY LANE TO THE VACANT POSITION ON PARKS AND REC.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

OK, MOST.

[INAUDIBLE] IN 2021-692.

OK. ANYONE OPPOSED NOT SEEING OR HEARING THAT MOTION PASSES FOR ZERO? AND JUST SO COUNSEL KNOWS WE STILL HAVE ONE POSITION OPEN ON ZBA.

SO IF ANYBODY KNOWS OF ANYBODY THAT WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ZBA REACH OUT TO THEM.

AND NEXT, [INAUDIBLE] I BROKE UP A LITTLE BIT WHEN YOU SAID THAT I'M SORRY, CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? I SAID THAT WE STILL HAVE AN OPENING ON ZBA.

SO IF ANYBODY KNOWS ANYBODY THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED, HAVE THEM REACH OUT.

THEY CAN GET AN APPLICATION EITHER FROM PATTI OR DOWNLOAD IT AND FILE IT SO WE CAN FILL ALL THE POSITIONS.

OK. NEXT ITEM NUMBER 10 CONSIDERATION AND OR APPROPRIATE ACTION ON HOSTING

[10. CONSIDERATION AND/OR APPROPRIATE ACTION ON POSTING A RFQ FOR A QUALIFIED PROVIDER FOR OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CREATION.]

MR. SLAUGHTER, YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT THIS? ABSOLUTELY. SO AS EVERYBODY KNOWS, SINCE I'VE BEEN ELECTED, I'VE BEEN ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

[INAUDIBLE] MULTIPLE MEETINGS WITH PEOPLE WHO A BIT MORE THAN HAPPY TO BE INVOLVED.

KIND OF GOTTEN TO A POINT.

WE'RE STARTING TO GET THE MAPS IN, BUT WE ARE NOT NECESSARILY QUALIFIED TO START REWRITING A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LOOKING WHAT EVERY CITY HAS DONE.

THEY ALL LOOK FOR PROVIDERS IN WHICH TO DO THAT.

AT THIS POINT, I'M NOT ASKING FOR A BUDGET FOR THAT BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY VARIABLES THAT GO INTO REQUESTING SUCH A PROPOSAL.

BUT I AM REQUESTING COUNCIL'S PERMISSION TO GO OUT AND SEE WHAT IT WOULD COST TO ACTUALLY GET SOMEBODY TO FORMALLY REDO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO KIND OF GO BACK AND GIVE YOU THE HISTORY. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN THE 80S.

TRUTHFULLY, IT IS THE ONLY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WE STILL HAVE TO DATE BECAUSE THERE WAS A MODIFICATION DONE IN 2016.

I BELIEVE IT WAS, AND THAT ONE INCLUDED THREE MAPS AND SAID THAT THOSE THREE MAPS REPLACE OUR ENTIRE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES NOT CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO WE DO HAVE A DESIRE TO UPDATE THAT.

WE HAVE A LOT OF CHANGES GOING ON IN THE CITY.

AND TRUTHFULLY, THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO THIS, SUCH AS SURVEYING RESIDENTS, COLLECTING DATA. THERE'S SOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICS THAT GO INTO IT THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS REALLY COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT HAVING SOMEONE WHO DOES THIS WOULD BE THE STEP FORWARD

[00:50:04]

BASICALLY, WE DON'T WANT TO DO A FULL REWRITE.

WE'RE GOING TO CALL IT A REVAMP AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO REQUEST BECAUSE A LOT OF THE ITEMS HAVE NOT CHANGED, EVEN THOUGH IT'S FROM THE 1980S, INCLUDING 2016, BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF THE COST EFFECTIVENESS OF GOING WITH A UPDATE AS OPPOSED TO A REWRITE.

AND SO AT THIS POINT, I AM REQUESTING THAT COUNCIL CONSIDER ALLOWING US JUST TO GO OUT AND GET THE RFQ TO FIND OUT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT PRICE WISE ON THESE, BECAUSE RESEARCH HAS PUT US ALL OVER THE BOARD FROM A COUPLE OF, YOU KNOW, 10 TO $20000 FOR SOME CITIES ALL THE WAY UP TO $300,000, AND WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE WILL BE UNLESS WE GET THAT PRICE TO KNOW WHETHER THIS IS SOMETHING VIABLE FOR THE CITY.

OK, IF COUNCIL APPROVES THIS, WHO WOULD WRITE THE RFQ? SO OUR CITY ADMINISTRATOR ACTUALLY HAD VOLUNTEERED DURING THAT SAID HE HAD PULLED UP SOME OPTIONS. I WOULD REQUEST THAT HE AND I WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT IT COVERS EVERYTHING AND PUT THAT OUT THERE SO THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

I CAN BRING YOU THE LIST OF THE QUALIFIED PROVIDERS AND WE CAN PRESENT THAT AND SEE WHAT THE COST RANGE IS TO SEE IF IT'S SOMETHING.

AT THIS POINT, I CAN'T EVEN SAY I'LL SUPPORT WHATEVER THE PRICE IS BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEND IT OUT THERE AND SEE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT COST WISE.

QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, DISCUSSION? I KNOW IN THE PAST WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT TRYING TO DO THIS INTERNALLY AND I KNOW THAT YOU'VE HAD A LOT OF DRAWBACKS BECAUSE OF MAPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND I WONDER, HAS THAT SOMEHOW CAUSED THE COMMITTEE TO BE LESS, YEAH, LESS ENTHUSED OR YEAH LESS ENGAGED BECAUSE YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO GO WITH? OR DO YOU? YEAH. YES AND NO.

SO THE MAPS HAVE PUT A LITTLE BIT OF A HICCUP, BUT WE'VE STARTED TO GET SOME OF THEM ROLLING OUT. HOWEVER, AT THE END OF THE DAY, I MEAN, I'LL BE FRANK.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE COMMITTEE DECIDED BACK IN AUGUST WAS COMING UP WITH A GOAL, AND WE DIRECTED THAT THERE WERE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO TOOK ON THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DRAFT THE GOALS THAT WAS ASSIGNED TO THEM.

WE COME TO THE NEXT MEETING, WE DON'T HAVE A GOAL.

SO IF THAT MEETING, I MADE IT AGAIN AND SAID, WE NEED TO GET FORWARD AND COME UP WITH THE STEPS. BUT TIME WE GOT TO THE THIRD MEETING WHERE WE STILL DIDN'T HAVE THE BASIC STEPS DONE AND I HAD COME UP WITH THE GOALS BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE HAD.

WE DECIDED AT LOOKING AT THAT, THAT THEY THE STEPS TAKEN.

WE HAVE TO MIRROR ONE OF THE OTHER CITIES TO ACTUALLY GET THIS THING COMPLETED.

A CITIZEN DRIVEN COMMITTEE IS IMPORTANT FOR THIS PROCESS, AND ALMOST EVERY CITY HAD WON.

THE CITY OF PLANO HAD A CITIZEN DRIVEN COMMITTEE.

THE CITY OF DENISON JUST DID ONE HAD A CITIZEN DRIVEN COMMITTEE, BUT THEY UTILIZED PROFESSIONALS SIMILAR TO, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT ANY OF THE OTHER COMMITTEES THAT ARE OUT THERE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT CIP, YOU GET THE ENGINEERS, YOU GET GARY.

LUCKILY, YOU KNOW, HE HAS EXPERIENCE IN THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY TRULY SET UP TO CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

I MEAN, THIS WILL BE PROBABLY 100 PLUS PAGES OF DOCUMENTS STATISTICS.

IT'S GOING TO INCLUDE ZONING.

IT'S GOING TO INCLUDE MAPS, GOING TO INCLUDE VISIONS THAT WE CAN'T GATHER WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO GATHER THE DATA.

MY COMMENT IS LOOKING AT OTHER CITIES SURROUNDING CITIES, COMPREHENSIVE PLANS, WHICH I HAD DONE.

BASICALLY, THEY ALL FOLLOW A SIMILAR FORMAT, RIGHT? SO TO PAY SOMEBODY TO USE A TEMPLATE? YOU KNOW, I'M NOT BIG ON THAT.

WOULD IT BE A BETTER OPTION TO GET THE STRUCTURE DOWN, GET THE WORDING DOWN, THEN GO OUT AND FIND OUT WHAT IS MISSING AS FAR AS MAPS AND STATISTICS AND THAT TYPE OF THING. SO THE MAPS WILL BE DONE SEPARATELY.

THIS ENTITY WOULDN'T DO THOSE.

JOHN BIRKHOFF IS ALREADY WORKING ON THE MAPS, SO THIS WOULD ACTUALLY BE FOR THOSE REASONS WE KNOW WHAT IS MISSING IN THERE TO TYPE UP A VISION OR TO ACTUALLY TYPE UP THE DOCUMENT IS ONE THING WHICH THEY HAVE GROUPS THAT WILL DO IN TYPE OF THE DOCUMENT.

AND YOU'RE RIGHT, MOST OF THEM ARE TEMPLATED, BUT EVERY PAGE OF THAT DOCUMENT REQUIRES STATISTICS TO PULL IN THERE THAT AS A COMMITTEE, WE'VE DRIVEN THE CITIES, WE'VE GRABBED THE MAPS WE'VE WORKED OFF OF THAT WE STILL ARE NOT PHYSICALLY ABLE TO PULL A LOT OF THAT

[00:55:03]

AND I'M NOT NECESSARILY SAYING AT THIS POINT WE DO THAT, BUT I'M SAYING IT'S REALLY GOING TO BE DEPENDENT ON THE PRICE BECAUSE ULTIMATELY, I FEEL LIKE THE NEED OF A VIABLE, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE CITY OF PARKER IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE, AND THIS HAS BEEN A PROJECT THAT HAS DRAGGED ON FOR MANY YEARS.

AND PART OF THE REASON BEING BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE DATA, WE DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY, AND I GET THAT. I DON'T EITHER.

BUT WE NEED TO ACTUALLY GET THIS THING MOVING AND TO DO THAT.

YOU KNOW, THIS COMMITTEE IS WILLING TO MEET ONCE A MONTH.

THAT'S NOT GOING TO GET THIS DONE.

WE'VE TRIED TO PUSH IT FORWARD MORE.

NOBODY SHOWS UP.

PEOPLE ARE MOTIVATED.

BUT IF WE CAN HAVE A GROUP ACTUALLY WORKING ON IT AND HAVE THE COMMITTEE OVERSEE THAT AND THEN BE ABLE TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS BACK TO COUNCIL, WE WOULD BE MUCH MORE PRODUCTIVE TO GET THIS COMPLETED.

AND AGAIN, I'M NOT WILLING TO SAY I'M GOING TO SUPPORT WHATEVER THE THE RFQ COMES BACK BECAUSE THE PRICE RANGE HAS BEEN ALL OVER THE BOARD.

BUT I THINK TO KNOW THAT IS KIND OF REQUIRED INFORMATION TO TAKE THE NEXT STEPS FORWARD.

IF WE LOOK AT IT AND THE PRICING IS TOO ASTRONOMICAL THAT WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND FIGURE OUT HOW BETTER CAN WE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? HOW CAN WE GET THIS INFORMATION? HOW CAN WE DO IT BECAUSE THE COST IS JUST TOO PROHIBITIVE? WE HAVE A BUDGET LINE ITEM FOR THIS.

NO, WHICH IS WHY WE WOULD HAVE TO GO OUT AND SEE WHAT IT COSTS BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO REQUEST A BUDGET AND NOT HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE COST WOULD BE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE REQUESTED A BUDGET, BUT I THOUGHT THAT THIS HAS BEEN IN DISCUSSION NOW FOR QUITE A WHILE.

SO, YOU KNOW, I HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT IT.

BUT OK, WOULD THE RFQ CAUSE THE COMPANY OF THE WHAT I'M TRYING TO ASK AND NOT DOING VERY WELL IS WOULD WHAT SERVICES THAT COMPANY WOULD PROVIDE BE INCLUDED IN THEIR BID BACK TO US? SO YOU COULD SEE THEY WILL DO STEP ONE, THEY'LL DO STEP TWO, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WILL DO. ABSOLUTELY.

WE WOULD HAVE A LINE ITEM BASED RFQ, SO WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED AND THE COMPANIES THAT DO THIS.

THIS IS KIND OF WHAT THEY SPECIALIZE IN.

MOST OF THE CITIES WHO TOUCH US, WE'RE ALL DONE BY ONE FIRM.

I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF JUST GOING TO ONE FIRM.

I WOULD WANT TO SEE WHAT THE AVERAGE COST IS ACROSS THE BOARD.

YOU KNOW, I AM NOT IN ANY WAY SUGGESTING WE SPEND THE HIGH ENDS OF THOSE AMOUNTS OF MONEY. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS AND THEN WE FIGURE OUT HOW TO SUPPLEMENT IT, TO GET IT TO A PRICE, TO GET THIS THING COMPLETED.

WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE TO PRESENT A COUNCIL WHERE YOU ARE? I MEAN, LIKE ON A SCREEN SO WE CAN SEE WHERE YOU ARE AS FAR AS WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY GATHERED AND AND WHERE WHERE YOU'RE HEADING.

SO WE HAVE SOMETHING TO BASE, WHAT IS NEEDED.

I COULD JUST INTERJECT REAL QUICKLY IS THAT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, IS THERE ENOUGH DATA FOR AS A BACKGROUND THAT WE HAVE TO KIND OF MAKE THAT NEXT STEP? OR WHAT INFORMATION WILL HAVE TO BE EXTRICATED FROM THE FIRM THAT COMES IN? AND IS THAT AVAILABLE? THE INFORMATION THERE ARE STANDARDIZED SURVEY QUESTIONS THAT KIND OF GO OUT AND GET PULLED. AND AS YOU'VE SEEN TRYING TO GET INFORMATION, IT CAN SOMETIMES BE DIFFICULT.

THESE FIRMS ACTUALLY SPECIALIZE IN GETTING PEOPLE TO RESPOND.

MOST OF THEM INCLUDE MAILING SEPARATE FROM WHAT THE CITY DOES TO TRY TO GET A SURVEY COMPLETED. THEY WILL DO PHONE SURVEYS THEY WILL DO AN EMAIL BASED, THEY WILL DO AN ONLINE BASE TO TRY TO GET THE ANSWERS THAT WE NEED BECAUSE A LOT OF A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS THE 5000 FOOT BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF THE CITY.

WHERE DO WE WANT TO SEE IT? WHERE ARE WE TODAY? WHERE DO WE WANT TO SEE IT IN 5, 10, 15 YEARS? AND IN DOING SO, WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IS WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE INITIAL 1983 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE THREE MAJOR CONCERNS, AND I MAKE THE JOKE ALL THE TIME.

I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO CHANGE ITS INFRASTRUCTURE DRAINAGE IN A BUILDING.

THOSE WERE THE THREE MAJOR CONCERNS THAT RESIDENTS FACED THEN.

I THINK WHEN WE SURVEY PEOPLE, THOSE ARE GOING TO BE PROBABLY IN SOME OF THE TOP LEVELS THAT WE HAVE AGAIN.

BUT THERE ARE OTHER THINGS SUCH AS HOUSEHOLD DEMOGRAPHICS THAT HAS DRASTICALLY CHANGED.

AVERAGE PROPERTY SIZE HAS DRASTICALLY CHANGED, AND THESE ARE NOT THINGS THAT WE CAN DISSECT OUT OR EVEN I MEAN, WE CAN HAVE JOHN BIRKHOFF DISSECT THAT INFORMATION OUT, BUT HE'S GOING TO BE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE, I BELIEVE, THAN GOING WITH A FIRM THAT LOOKS AT THIS AND DOES COMPREHENSIVE PLANS FOR CITIES.

YOU KNOW, THE CITY OF, LIKE I SAID, THE CITY OF PLANO.

WE MODELED, MODELED AFTER THEM AND KIND OF FOLLOWED THEIR PROTOCOLS BECAUSE THEY HAD IT DOWN. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DIVISION.

WE DON'T, OBVIOUSLY, BUT FOLLOWED KIND OF THROUGH THEIR PROCESS.

[01:00:02]

WE DON'T HAVE THE MAPS.

WE INITIALLY FIGURED OUT THAT THE MAPS THAT WE HAD FROM THE UPDATE IN 2016 WERE ALL WRONG. THEY HAD THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY OF PARKER WERE OFF.

THEY HAD OUR [INAUDIBLE] LANDS WERE IMPROPERLY MARKED.

SO TRYING TO EXTRICATE THAT DATA WOULD BE A WASTE.

WE DO NEED SOME THINGS FROM THE CODE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN UPDATED YET.

WE HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THE CODE BOOK TO BE FULLY UPDATED SO THAT WE COULD TAKE THAT BACK. WE KNOW WHERE THAT ALL SITS.

AND THIS GROUP'S JOB IS TO PULL THAT TOGETHER TO EXTRICATE THE DATA THAT WE NEED LINE ITEM BY LINE ITEM AND GET IT COMPLETE.

AND TO BE A MILLION PERCENT HONEST, WE HAVE DEDICATED RESIDENTS HERE.

BUT TO GET THE RESIDENTS WILLINGNESS TO DO THIS AND TO PUT THE WORK INTO IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE EVERYBODY HAS JOBS AND REQUIREMENTS AND EVERYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT.

AND WHEN YOU RUN INTO THAT, IT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO LOOK FOR THE PROFESSIONALS TO GET THIS DONE AS LONG AS IT'S REASONABLE.

OK, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IN THE BACKGROUND, BUT CAN YOU PRESENT A COUNCIL INTO THE PEOPLE THAT WATCH WHERE YOU ARE? I MEAN, SHOW SOMETHING SO THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND BETTER WHAT THE OPTIONS ARE.

THE CENSUS INFORMATION SHOULD BE OUT WITHIN.

IT SHOULD BE OUT ALREADY, BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS.

SO THAT WILL COVER THE CENSUS.

ABSOLUTELY. THE DEMOGRAPHICS PART.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AND I'M SURE THAT OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS WOULD TOO.

REALLY, WHAT YOUR PLAN WAS, WHERE YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU'RE GOING VISUALLY? DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? I THINK I DO.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THERE IS ZERO PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE MAPS, WE DON'T HAVE THE CODE.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE DATA TO BE ABLE TO PULL IT TOGETHER.

AND TO DO THAT, WHAT THE COUNT, WHAT THE COMMITTEE HAS DONE IS SPENT ITS TIME COMING UP WITH HOW TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

AND IN INITIAL PLANS, WHEN I CAME TO COUNCIL A YEAR AGO, I SAID I WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS.

COUNCIL SAID THEY WOULD PREFER NOT TO AND FOR THE COMMITTEE TO TRY AND WE DID.

PULLING THE COMMITTEE TOGETHER.

I HAVE PUT AS MUCH WORK INTO IT AS I PHYSICALLY CAN TO TRY TO GET TO THE NEXT STEP ON THIS. BUT WE ARE KIND OF AT A STANDPOINT THAT THE COMMITTEE DOESN'T KNOW WILL NOT COMMIT ON WHERE TO GO UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT THE COSTS ARE FOR THE NEXT STEPS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, IF WE CAN GET THIS DONE FOR A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GET SOME OF THESE STEPS DONE, WE GET A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FINISHED.

IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT $100,000, THE ENTIRE METHODOLOGY OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO HANDLE THIS. WE'LL HAVE TO CHANGE.

WHICH IS WHY LOOKING FOR THE RFQ, I'M NOT ASKING FOR FUNDS, I'M NOT ASKING FOR A BUDGET.

I'M ASKING TO FIND OUT WHAT IT WOULD COST FOR US TO GET A PROFESSIONAL LINE ITEM WISE TO DO THIS.

AND IN DOING SO, I AM HAPPY TO PRESENT TO COUNCIL, BUT I FEEL LIKE I WOULD BE MISSING A LARGE PORTION OF THE OPTIONS IF I DON'T HAVE THIS INFORMATION.

I'M HAPPY TO PRESENT TO COUNCIL THE NUMBER OF COMMITTEE MEETINGS, THE MINUTES FROM THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS, WHICH ARE ALL THERE AND THE STEPS THAT WE'VE TAKEN SO FAR.

THE NOTES WE'VE MADE ON THE BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A RUNNING BOOK ON THE EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE NOTES THAT WE HAVE FOUND THAT JUST AREN'T VIABLE ANYMORE, THAT DON'T MEET THE CITY OF PARKER ANYMORE OR THE AREAS THAT HAVE CHANGED.

WE HAVE MADE THOSE NOTES.

WE KNOW WHICH AREAS NEED TO BE UPDATED IN THE BOOK AND I CAN PRESENT ALL OF THAT.

WE'VE GONE THROUGH IT LITERALLY PIECE BY PIECE FOR ALL HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN PAGES.

I THINK IT IS IN TOTAL SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WE'VE GONE THROUGH ALL THE HAND-DRAWN MAPS THAT WERE THERE.

WE KNOW WHICH ONES OF THOSE ARE WRONG.

WE KNOW WHAT OUR CURRENT MAPS ARE WRONG AND I CAN PRESENT ALL OF THAT.

BUT I THINK THAT I WOULD BE MISSING A LARGE PORTION OF THE ABILITY TO PRESENT IF I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COSTS ARE ON THE NEXT STEP.

AND UNTIL I GET A LINE ITEM RFQ FROM SOMEBODY TO KNOW WHAT IT IS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS STILL BEST TO BRING IN HOUSE AND WHAT IS BEST TO FIND THROUGH A PROFESSIONAL.

OK, BUT WHEN YOU GO OUT FOR WHEN YOU GO OUT FOR PRICING, I MEAN, YOU SHOULD HAVE AN OUTLINE OF WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, CORRECT.

YES. YOU KNOW WHAT COMPONENTS NEED TO GO IN.

THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I WAS ASKING IF YOU COULD BRING TO COUNCIL.

I'M NOT SAYING DON'T GO OUT FOR THE RFQ OR RFK WHATEVER.

ABSOLUTELY. I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ASK FOR A FUTURE ITEM OR AN UPDATE THAT I CAN DO IN THE FUTURE TO DO A PRESENTATION FOR THAT.

AND I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOW YOU AND I CAN CREATE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL ONE IS WAS NOT DIGITAL.

I HAVE PAPER COPY.

I CAN DIGITIZE THAT AND ACTUALLY DO A PRESENTATION AND SHOW YOU WHERE WE ARE, WHERE THE SEGMENTS ARE BAD, HOW MUCH IN DISREPAIR THE ORIGINAL WAS.

THE 2016 IS IN WHAT WE HAVE COME TOGETHER AS A COMMITTEE TO DETERMINE THE IMPORTANT PARTS

[01:05:02]

THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS BRING COUNCIL A COMPLETED HUNDRED AND SOMETHING PAGE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND SAY, HERE YOU GO.

APPROVE THIS. WE WANT TO DO IT IN STAGES SO THAT IT MAKES WAY MORE SENSE.

AND AS A COUNCIL, WE CAN REVIEW EACH OF THOSE STAGES TO MAKE SURE THOSE TRULY DO MEET WHAT OUR VISIONS ARE, THE COST FOR GOING OUT AND PUBLISHING IN THE PAPER.

AND ALL THAT IS ABOUT $600 OR SO THERE IS A COST ASSOCIATED.

A LOT OF IT WE CAN DO IS SEND OUT TO COMPANIES.

WE KNOW MANY OF THE COMPANIES.

I THINK WE'VE KIND OF THAT'S ONE THING WE'VE LOOKED AT.

YEAH, IS THE COMPANIES AND WE CAN POST ON OUR WEBSITE AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

WE CAN MAKE THAT RFQ VERY SMALL TO POST AND TRY TO KEEP IT AS MINIMAL AS POSSIBLE WHERE WE DIRECT THEM TO THE CITY'S WEBSITE FOR THAT INFORMATION, WE DON'T HAVE TO PUBLISH IT IN THE NEWSPAPER. I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU PUBLISH IT IN THE NEWSPAPER AND DIRECT THEM TO OUR WEBSITE. WE DON'T HAVE A HUGE LINE ITEM LIKE BECAUSE WE PAY BY LINE IN THE NEWSPAPER.

SO. SO AS YOU'RE LOOKING AT, YOU INDICATED THIS ISN'T A REWRITE THAT, YOU KNOW, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF PIECES THAT NEED TO BE DONE.

AND I DO HAVE A SENSE THAT YOU AND LUKE HAVE A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT THOSE PIECES ARE.

BUT AS YOU GO OUT FOR A PROPOSAL CONCERN THAT WE GET A PROPOSAL, WE DECIDE TO GO WITH SOMEBODY AND END UP FINDING OUT WE NEED TO DO MORE FOR CONTRACTING.

ARE WE GOING? BEING CAUTIOUS AND ASKING FOR MORE INFORMATION? AND CAN WE? YEAH, IF WE GET A BIT OF SOMETHING, CAN WE TAKE IT OFF? TYPICALLY, WHAT THEY'LL DO IS WITH THESE, LIKE THE LABEL SECTIONS LIKE TRANSPORTATION, WATER, SEWER, UTILITIES, WHAT THEY'LL DO IS THEY'LL LINE ITEM THOSE AND SAY THIS IS, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL KIND OF GIVE US A TIMELINE OF TYPICALLY WHEN THEY WANT TO DO THIS, IF THERE'S MORE OVERAGES AND THEY'LL GIVE US HOURLY RATES FOR ADDITIONAL MEETINGS, ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO THEY WILL GIVE THOSE NUMBERS TO YOU.

IT'S JUST HOW YOU'RE GOING TO MANAGE WITHIN THAT.

SO YOU CAN KIND OF YOU COULD NEGOTIATE WITH THEM IF WE DECIDED TO GO WITH ONE OF THEM AND ONE ALL PIECES OF IT OR WELL, YOU'D HAVE TO PICK ONE BASED ON THEIR QUALIFICATIONS.

AND THEN FROM THAT POINT ON, YOU WOULD MOVE TO NEGOTIATING A CONTRACT PRICE AND GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS WITH ENGINEERING FIRM ENGINEERING FIRMS, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.

YOU CANNOT JUST BASED ON SOLELY ON PRICE, YOU HAVE TO GO BASED ON QUALIFICATIONS.

AND WHEN I ASKED AS WE WERE LOOKING INTO THIS AS A COMMITTEE, LUCKILY LUKE DOES ATTEND MOST OF MY MEETINGS AND I HAD INQUIRED ABOUT THE COST AND IT WAS A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO POST. BUT I FIGURE THAT WE DO BREAK IT UP, AND PART OF WHAT I'M GOING TO REQUEST TO FIND OUT THE PRICE IS THE COST PER MEETING BECAUSE THE COMMITTEE WAS VERY ADAMANT THAT AS THESE SEGMENTS KIND OF COME TO A HEAD, THEY WANT THE MEETING WITH THE COMMITTEE BEFORE ANYTHING EVER GETS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL TO MAKE SURE IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS.

AND MY LAST COMMITTEE MEETING WAS PROBABLY THE SMALLEST.

I STILL HAD ABOUT 10 PEOPLE.

USUALLY WE GET BETWEEN, SAY, 10 AND 20 PEOPLE SHOW UP TO A COMMITTEE MEETING.

WE DO HAVE THE ENERGY.

WE HAVE SOME OF THE KNOWLEDGE.

WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE IT. THEY JUST LIKE THEY SAID THEY'D DO THIS FOR A LIVING.

THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TIME TO DONATE THEIR TIME TO DO IT FOR THE CITY, BUT THEY CAN HELP GUIDE US THROUGH THE PROCESS, WHICH IS WHAT WE'VE USED.

I WILL STATE THAT THE CITY MANAGER FOR PLANO HAS BEEN ABSOLUTE AMAZING RESOURCE WILLING TO KIND OF GIVE THEIR STEPS AND INSIGHTS INTO HOW THEY'VE DONE IT.

NOT NECESSARILY THEIR FIRMS, BUT THEY WERE KIND OF A GOOD GUIDE ON THAT.

AS I TOOK THIS ON, I TOLD EVERYBODY, I'M A NO.

I KNOW HOW TO READ A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

I'M BY NO MEANS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WRITING EXPERT, BUT I KNOW HOW TO GET PROJECTS DONE.

AND IN DOING SO, SOMETIMES YOU HIT THAT ROADBLOCK WHERE WE NEED THE EXTRA PUSH TO GET THOSE THROUGH. AND I THINK HAVING A FIRM THAT CAN LOOK AT IT WOULD BE A HUGE ASSET FOR THE RIGHT COST.

IF THE COST IS NOT THERE, THEN WE LOOK FOR OTHER OPTIONS TO GET THIS COMPLETED BECAUSE THIS IS IMPORTANT TO GET DONE AND IT HAS BEEN ONE OF THOSE MANY ITEMS THAT HAVE KIND OF BEEN ONGOING FOR A WHILE.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? NOT HEARING ANY, I WILL CALL FOR A MOTION, I MOVE THAT WE POST A RFQ FOR A QUALIFIED PROVIDER FOR OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CREATION.

IS THERE A SECOND? I WAS HEARING THAT PROPOSAL FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.

OK, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE GOING OUT FOR A RFQ FOR A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?

[01:10:01]

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF GOING OUT FOR AN RFQ, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

ANY OPPOSED OR IS UP FOUR OR? THAT'S FOUR? OK, THANK YOU.

OK. MOTION PASSES FOUR ZERO COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER.

I WILL ASK THAT YOU GET WITH CITY ADMINISTRATOR OLSON TO AND PERHAPS EVEN COUNCIL HERE TO DEVELOP THE RFQ.

YES, MADAME MAYOR. OK.

OK. THE NEXT TWO ITEMS ARE REAL DIFFICULT.

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THEM. THAT'S TRUE.

[LAUGHTER] ITEM 11 DISCUSSION AND OR APPROPRIATE ACTION ON CANCELING THE DECEMBER 21ST, 2021 REGULAR

[11. DISCUSSION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION ON CANCELING THE DECEMBER 21, 2021, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING.]

BEFORE WE ACT ON THIS.

I JUST WANT TO RAISE ONE ISSUE, WITH YOU TABLED THOSE TWO CONTRACTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION, I MEAN, FOR THE SOLID WASTE, AND WE'VE GOT TO YET A DEAL DONE BY THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO YEAH, MY QUESTION IS HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD PREFER TO DO THIS IF IT CAN BE DONE A WEEK FROM TODAY? IS EVERYBODY GOING TO BE IN TOWN? I DON'T THINK REPUBLIC WILL HAVE THERE.

THEY WON'T BE READY.

THEY'RE PUSHING TO HAVE IT BY A WEEK FROM FRIDAY [INAUDIBLE].

THIS IS IN PHOENIX.

THEY HAD TO SEND THIS TO THEIR MAIN LEGAL DEPARTMENT IN PHOENIX.

OK, WHEN IS THE RECOMMENDED DATE? I DON'T HAVE A RECOMMENDED DATE AT THIS POINT BECAUSE OF THE HOLIDAYS.

THAT'S WHY I SENT OUT AN EMAIL ASKING FOR DATES EARLIER FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS JUST TO KIND OF GAUGE WHERE WE'RE NOT IF WE HAVE ANY OPENING DATES.

I WOULD THINK SO.

SO LET ME ASK THIS QUESTION IS DO WE HAVE OTHER FOLKS THAT ARE ATTENDING TODAY IF WE HAD A BRIEF MEETING ON THE 21ST TO APPROVE THOSE TWO CONTRACTS? IS EVERYONE IN TOWN? I AM. I AM.

I CAN CALL IN. [LAUGHTER] SO THAT WOULD BE OPTION IS NOT CANCEL THE MEETING.

OK, OK.

YES. OKAY.

YEAH, THAT COULD BE A REGULAR MEETING.

YEAH. BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T NEED A SUPER QUORUM.

YEAH. YEAH.

OK, WHAT WOULD COUNCIL LIKE TO DO? WE WILL TAKE A MOTION.

MOVE THAT WE KEEP THE DECEMBER 21ST MEETING BRIEF.

[LAUGHTER] YOU'LL GET A SECOND FOR THAT.

[LAUGHTER] FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE CONTRACTS THAT ARE PENDING.

I WILL SECOND EMPHASIZING THE WORD BRIEF.

[LAUGHTER] OK, WE HAVE A MOTION, BY MAYOR PRO TEM MEYER AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER SLAUGHTER TO HOLD A BRIEF MEETING ON 12 21 TO DEAL WITH THE PENDING CONTRACTS.

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

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

ANY OPPOSED? OK, THANK YOU.

MOTION PASSES FOR ZERO.

WE WILL SEE YOU CHRISTMAS.

OK, THE NEXT ONE.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS ITEM.

12 DISCUSSION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESCHEDULING THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING

[12. DISCUSSION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESCHEDULING THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING FROM JANUARY 4, 2022, TO JANUARY 11, 2022.]

2022 TO JANUARY 11TH 2022.

NOW WE DO HAVE A REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING ON JANUARY 18TH.

I BELIEVE IT IS, JUST SO Y'ALL KNOW THAT.

SO WHAT WOULD PEOPLE LIKE TO DO? CAN I ASK A QUESTION HERE? THE REASON FOR THE RECOMMENDATION OF RESCHEDULING THE MEETING IS BECAUSE STAFF WON'T BE AVAILABLE THE WEEK BEFORE, PRIOR TO GET THE PACKETS OUT.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.

OK.

[01:15:05]

YEAH, ONE, IT'S A SHORT WEEK.

FEEL LIKE LAST YEAR WHEN WE CANCELED IT WAS A BEAST THAT NEXT MEETING, WE CAME BACK.

SO MADAME MAYOR, I WILL MOVE THAT WE RESCHEDULE THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING FROM JANUARY 4TH TO JANUARY 11TH, 2022.

OK. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT.

OK, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND THAT WE RESCHEDULED THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING FROM JANUARY 4TH, 2022 TO JANUARY 11TH 2022.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR COMMENTS NOT HEARING ANY? I WILL CALL FOR YOUR VOTES.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF RESCHEDULING THE MEETING.

PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

I'M IN FAVOR OF THE RESCHEDULE.

OK.

ANYONE OPPOSED? NOT HEARING ANY MOTION PASSES FOUR ZERO.

THANK YOU. OK.

ON UPDATES.

DOES ANY COMMITTEE MEMBER OTHER THAN MICHAEL SLAUGHTER, WHO HAS ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE

[ROUTINE ITEMS]

IN THIS ROOM.

IT'S OPEN TO EVERYBODY.

MADAME MAYOR, CAN I ASK ON THE RISK AND RESILIENCE, I KNOW WE HAD A DEADLINE THAT WAS COMING UP ON THAT. HAVE WE HIT THAT AND COMPLETED IT? OK. YEAH.

AND JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I AM GOING TO PUT THE NOISE COMMITTEE ON THE NEXT AGENDA, NOT DECEMBER 21ST, BUT JANUARY COUNCIL FORM THAT COMMITTEE.

I BELIEVE IT IS.

I'VE BEEN REQUESTED THAT COUNCIL SEEK A DISSOLUTION OF THAT COMMITTEE BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T MET AND THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY ISSUES SO THAT WE CONSIDER THAT AT THAT TIME.

JUST PARKS AND RECS SHOULD MEET ON JANUARY THE 12TH AT SIX P.M.

DO YOU WANT ME TO JUST SEE IF THEY CAN MOVE TO THE CONFERENCE ROOM? THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO MEET ON JANUARY 12TH YOU SAY? THAT'S THEIR REGULAR DATE AT SIX P.M.

OK. AND THAT'S WHEN WE KNEW THE PROPOSED FACILITY MEETING, BUT THAT'S KIND OF A TENTATIVE MEETING BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHEN WE WILL GET THE RENDERINGS.

SO LET US WORK ON THAT PATTI WILL.

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW THERE MIGHT BE A CONFLICT.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

OK. ANYTHING? OK. THE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE AND ACCEPT DONATIONS TO THE CITY FOR THE POLICE, FIRE AND CITY STAFF.
