NEXT ITEM 6, CONSIDERATION OF AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON WHITE STONE ESTATES BY BOB FINAL PLOT INCLUDING VACATING THE PLOT OF PARKER STATES IN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF PARKER, COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS, RECORDED IN VOLUME 10 PAGE 20 OF THE MAP OR PLOT RECORDS OF COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS.

FOLKS, LUKE YOU WANT TO START? LUKE OLSON: I'LL GIVE IT A SHOT HERE.

LAST MEETING COUNCIL DENIED THE WHITE STONE PHASE 56 PLOT UNDER TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER 212.

WE SENT A LETTER TO THE DEVELOPER CITING THE DEFICIENCIES WITHIN THE PROPERTY.

THEY HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY SENT A LETTER BACK IDENTIFYING THEY HAVE RECTIFIED THOSE SUCH THOSE DEFICIENCIES WITHIN THE PROPERTY.

[00:25:02]

THE CITY OF PARKER HAD 15 DAYS TO RESPOND TO THE LETTER.

THAT'S WHY THIS IS ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT.

HE'S THE COUNCIL'S ACTION FOR THAT.

GARY [INAUDIBLE] PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.

I THOUGHT JOHN BIRKHOFF IS HERE TO ANSWER SOME STUDY QUESTIONS.

PRESTON AND THERE ARE ENGINEERS HERE ALSO TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON THEIR BEHALF.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'D LIKE TO PROCEED WITH THAT IN THERE.

LEE PETTLE: SHALL WE START WITH MR. BIRKHOFF? JOHN MARKOFF: JOHN MARKOFF WITH BIRKHOFF HENDRIX AND CARTER, DALLAS, TEXAS.

ACTING AS YOUR CITY ENGINEER.

MR. MIKADO AND I DID GO OUT LAST WEEK, AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE WORK THAT THE DEVELOPER AND HIS CONTRACTORS COMPLETED.

I GUESS IT WAS LAST TUESDAY, JULY 11TH WE DID OUR WALK THROUGH THE ITEMS THAT WERE ON OUR PREVIOUS LETTER.

THERE WAS ABOUT SEVEN OF THEM, THEY HAVE ALL BEEN COMPLETED TO MY SATISFACTION AND MR. MIKADO SATISFACTION.

LEE PETTLE: COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. BIRKHOFF? AMANDA NOE: YES.

I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING THE OVERALL PLOTS, AND THE PLOT WITH RESPECT TO THE FEMA FLOOD PLAIN.

I'D LIKE TO TRY TO WALK THROUGH THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE WITH RESPECT TO THE PLOT AND THE FEMA FLOOD PLAIN IN MATTERS OF MAP REVISION.

JOHN MARKOFF: THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO THE DEVELOPERS ENGINEERS.

WE REVIEWED THOSE WHEN THEY SUBMITTED THE PLANS, WENT THROUGH A RIGOROUS REVIEW OF THAT MANY ITERATIONS.

ONCE I MET ALL THOSE REQUIREMENTS, AND IT WAS RELEASED FOR CONSTRUCTION AS WE GET INTO THE FINAL PLAN.

NOW IS HAVE THEY FULFILLED ALL THEIR REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY HAD IN THEIR PLANS AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY.

DUSTIN WENTZ: GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS DUSTIN WENTZ WITH TAPE DAWSON ENGINEERS, BREAST AND WALL HOOD WITH THE DEVELOPER.

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

COUNCIL, MADAM MAYOR, 40,40 NORTH CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY, DALLAS, TEXAS.

GLAD TO BE BACK.

AS MR. BIRKHOFF SAID, WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE CITY CITING EIGHT DEFICIENCIES.

ACCORDING TO THE TAXES LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, WE HAVE REMEDIATED THOSE EIGHT DEFICIENCIES AND RESPONDED AS SUCH.

AS MR. OLSON SAID, THE CITY THEN HAS 15 DAYS TO CONSIDER WHETHER THEY MEET THOSE EIGHT DEFICIENCIES AND THEN APPROVE OF THEM FROM THERE.

MS. NOE, HAPPY TO ANSWER ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FEMA FLOOD PLAIN AS AN ONGOING CONCERN.

LEE PETTLE: MS. NOE, PLEASE ASK YOUR QUESTIONS.

AMANDA NOE: THANK YOU, FOR YOUR EXCELLENT.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS JUST GIVE A SUMMARY BECAUSE AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, WE'RE BEING ASKED TO REVIEW AND APPROVE THE FINAL PLATFORM, WHITE ZONE PHASE 5.

WITH THAT, I HAVE DONE THAT REVIEW OF THE PLOT, AND I HAVE QUESTIONS I WOULD LIKE TO ASK AND SEEK CLARIFICATION, REGARDING THE ATTRIBUTES AS IT PERTAINS TO THE FEMA FLOOD PLAIN.

JUST TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF THE AREA IN QUESTION TODAY FOR THE WHITE ZONE PHASE 5 PLOT, I'M SHOWING ON THE SCREEN A JUST AERIAL VIEW OF THE AREA.

WHAT YOU SEE AT THE VERY TOP IS A DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF ALLEN CALLED MORGAN CROSSING.

BELOW THAT IS THE EASY ACRES DEVELOPMENT, AND BELOW THAT IS THE LAND AS IT LOOKED BEFORE ANY DEVELOPMENT HAD PROCEEDED.

THEN THAT'S THE PLOT THAT WE'RE REVIEWING THIS EVENING TO BE ABLE TO ASSESS.

IT JUST GIVES YOU A PERSPECTIVE OF WHERE IS THIS PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF PARKER.

THEN TO ADD IN ADDITIONAL DETAIL, WHAT I'VE SHOWN HERE IS THAT THE CITY OF ATLANTIS AT THE TOP THERE.

IT HAS THE DEVELOPMENT.

YOU SEE CHAPARRAL ROAD GOING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THAT DEVELOPMENT TO THE NORTH EC2 PONDS, IF YOU WILL, THAT ARE BOTH, THEY'RE DUG OUT SO THAT THEY'RE A POND DURING NORMAL CONDITIONS, BUT THEN THEY HAVE ADDITIONAL SIDEWALLS TO BE ABLE TO BE A DETAINMENT POND DURING A FLOOD CONDITION IN THAT AREA TO THE NORTH.

WHAT YOU CAN SEE IN THE GREEN LINE GOING THROUGH IS MAXIMAL CREEK THAT GOES BETWEEN, IT'S FURTHER SOUTH ON ALYSSA THROUGH CAROLYN AND EASY ACRES, AND THEN GOES IN THROUGH WHITE ZONE PHASE 5 IN THE ROADS ARE SHOWN THERE WITH BERKSHIRE DRIVE OF BELVEDERE.

[00:30:02]

THROUGHOUT THE WHITE ZONE PHASE 5 DEVELOPMENT, BUT THE MAXWELL CREEK IS SHOWN IN GREEN.

NEXT ONE I'M SHOWING IS THE FEMA FLOOD PLAIN MAP AS IT IS WITH RESPECT TO THE FEMA WEBSITE.

WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS BASICALLY A SCREEN CAPTURE FROM THE FEMA WEBSITE.

HOW THE FEMA MAP WORKS IS THAT THEY'LL DO A MAP IN WHAT YOU CAN SEE AS THIS MAP WAS EFFECTIVE IN 2009 AND THEN AFTER 2009, VARIOUS DIFFERENT MAP REVISIONS ARE MADE AGAINST THIS MAP AND POSTED ON THE FEMA WEBSITE.

THIS IS A BASELINE MAP, BUT THEN THERE'S SUBSEQUENT REVISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE OVER THE YEARS THAT ARE ON FILE WITH FEMA, AND THOSE ARE CALLED LETTER OF MAP REVISIONS.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE TOP BLUE SECTION THERE THERE'S A LETTER OF MAP REVISION THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THAT CITY OF ALLEN POND.

AT THE BOTTOM THERE'S A LETTER OF MAP REVISION SHOWN THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE WHITE ZONE ESTATES PHASE 5.

WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS THAT THERE'S VARIOUS DIFFERENT MARKER POINTS SHOWN ON THE MAP THAT JUST BASICALLY INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FLOOD LEVEL ELEVATIONS ALONG THE CREEK AT MARKER POINTS THAT ARE NOTED AT THE TOP AD, GOING DOWN TO AC, AB IS ASSOCIATED WITH ALYSSA, AA IS ASSOCIATED WITH KARA.

THEN WE GO INTO THE WHITE ZONE PHASE 5 AND THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER MARKER POINTS, Z, WHICH IS TOWARDS THE LOWER PORTION OF WHITE ZONE PHASE 5 AND Y IS AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF WHITE ZONE PHASE 5.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE ELEVATIONS THAT ARE SHOWN LISTED.

START AT THE TOP OF THE 629, THEN GO DOWN TO 626, AND SUBSEQUENTLY FALL DOWN TO LIKE 626, 624, DOWN TO 616.

9, 614.

9 DOWN AT THE BOTTOM IS AROUND 610.

THIS IS JUST THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION AS IT PROGRESSES DOWN THE CREEK.

THE BLUE ZONE EE IS REPRESENTATIVE ON THE MAP FOR FEMA OF THE HUNDRED-YEAR FLOOD PLAIN.

ASSOCIATED WITH THE MAP, THERE'S A LOW MARK OF MAP REVISION THAT WAS DONE IN 2019.

WITH PART OF THIS LETTER OF MAP REVISION SHOWS THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION AT THE BOTTOM CURVE.

THAT'S BASICALLY THE THE ELEVATION OF THE CREEK BED OF MAXWELL CREEK.

THE UPPER LINE SHOWS WHAT THE FLOOD ELEVATION WATER LEVEL WOULD BECOME DURING THE HUNDRED-YEAR FLOOD.

AS YOU CAN SEE, A TRACKS ACCORDINGLY TO THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION IN TERMS OF THE A LEVEL OF HEIGHT REACHED FOR WATER ALONG THIS CROSS-SECTION, IF YOU WILL, FROM THE RIGHT, WHICH IS THE BOTTOM OF THAT POND AND THE CITY OF ALLEN TO THE LEFT, WHICH IS THE BOTTOM OF A WHITE ZONE PHASE 5.

THOSE MARK THE POINTS ARE NOTED TO CORRELATED TO EACH OTHER.

THIS IS ON THE LUMBER OF 2019.

JIM REED: COUNCIL MEMBER KNOW, JUST TO BACKUP A SECOND.

WHEN YOU'RE SHOWING THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY AN AXIAL VIEW OF THE CREEK BED.

THE TOP IS ACTUALLY THE TOP, WHICH WOULD BE WHERE THE BANK IS.

THE BOTTOM IS ACTUALLY THE LOWEST POINT PROBABLY IN THE CENTER OF THE CREEK BED, CORRECT? AMANDA NOE: I THINK THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.

JIM REED: IS THAT A QUESTION? AMANDA NOE: I'M COMING TO MY QUESTION.

THIS IS MY QUESTION.

MY QUESTION IS IF I TAKE THE FEMA FLOODPLAIN MAP AND OVERLAY THE WHITE STONE PHASE 5 PLAT AND I OUTLINE THE FEMA MAP IN GREEN, WHICH IS THE FLOODPLAIN ON FEMA RECORD, WE THEN HAVE THE WHITE STONE PHASE 5 MAP OVERLAID WITH IT, WHERE THE NEW PROPOSED 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN MAP REVISION IS SHOWN IN THE PURPLE OUTLINE.

I HAVE A QUESTION OF HOW CAN THE TOP NORTHERN BORDER OF THE DEVELOPMENT HAVE A FLOODPLAIN THAT'S SIGNIFICANTLY MORE NARROW COMPARED TO WHAT THE FEMA MAP HAD IN THE PREVIOUS PLAN OF RECORD.

I'LL SAY THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE NEW FLOODPLAIN CAN BE CONSISTENT WITH THE FLOODPLAIN TO THE NORTH.

IF WE LOOK AT A HORIZONTAL VERSION OF THIS, A CROSS-SECTION, WHAT I'M SEEING IN ACTUAL 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN ELEVATION NUMBERS ON THE PLAT, IT WOULD SHOW A CURVE LIKE THIS SUCH THAT IT STARTS AT ALLEN, GOES DOWN THROUGH EASY ACRES AND THEN DROPS TO BE 618 FEET ELEVATION AT THAT NORTHERN BORDER POINT UNTIL IT WOULD GET TO BELVEDERE BRIDGE AND IT WOULD ALSO STILL BE-618 FOOT ELEVATION.

[00:35:05]

TO ME, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT CAN BE.

THE TWO QUESTIONS ARE, HOW CAN WE ADD FILL TO CREATE THOSE LOTS ON THE LEFT SIDE? HOW CAN WE HAVE A RETENTION POND TO THE LEFT THAT ISN'T PART OF THE FLOODPLAIN BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THAT INCLUDED ANYMORE AND STILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE FLOW OF WATER THAT WE WERE HANDLING BEFORE.

JOHN MARKOFF: GO AHEAD.

DUSTIN WENTZ: THE SUBDIVISION IN THE CITY OF ALLEN, THEY WENT THROUGH THE FEMA PROCESS TO TIGHTEN DOWN ON THE FLOODPLAIN, AND IT'S VERY NARROW AND TIGHT THERE.

THE EXISTING SUBDIVISION IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF HERE, IT IS A CONCRETE CHANNEL, AS YOU MENTIONED.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THOSE HOMEOWNERS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THAT CHANNEL HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED ANY FLOODING.

BUT AS YOU MENTIONED, THE FLOODPLAIN AT THIS MAP TODAY IS CONSIDERABLY WIDER AND ENCOMPASSES A LOT OF HOMES UP THERE.

I THINK IF THEY WANTED TO GO THROUGH THE FEMA PROCESS TO REVISE THAT MAPPING, IT WOULD PROBABLY LOOK DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IT SHOWS TODAY.

BUT NOW THAT YOU'VE GONE TO WHITESTONE, WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF MODELING IT.

WE'VE ALSO ADDED THE FILL, AND SO IT'S A NICE CONCRETE CHANNEL AND THAT EXISTING SUBDIVISION, WHEN IT GETS HERE, IT WIDENS OUT.

IT WAS A FLAT FARMLAND LIKE YOU MENTIONED.

BUT ONE OF THE TECHNIQUES YOU CAN TAKE IS EXCAVATE SOME OF THOSE PONDS LIKE WE DID, THROW THAT OVER, RAISE THE LOTS UP.

CHANNELIZATION IS ONE WAY TO AFFECT THE LIMITS OF THE FLOODPLAIN.

WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH THIS PROJECT IS WE'VE ADDED FILL FOR THOSE HOMES YOU SEE, AND NOW WE'RE REMAPPING THE FLOODPLAIN AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE FEMA PROCESS TO ACTUALLY DO THE LETTER OF MAP REVISION, AND IT USUALLY TAKES NINE MONTHS TO A YEAR ONCE CONSTRUCTION IS OVER.

WHAT FEMA SAYS IS UNTIL THE CONSTRUCTION IS DONE AND YOU'VE SURVEYED IT, YOU'VE RUN IT THROUGH THE LOCAL FLOODPLAIN ADMINISTRATOR AND THEN YOU SEND IT TO US, WE'RE NOT GOING TO CHANGE OUR MAPS.

ONCE YOU'VE FINISHED CONSTRUCTION, THEN YOU ARE ALLOWED TO ACTUALLY START THE FEMA MAP REVISION PROCESS.

FROM OUR RECENT EXPERIENCE, IT'S TAKING CLOSER TO A YEAR FOR FEMA TO ACTUALLY ISSUE THE REVISED MAPPING, BUT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

JIM REED: A QUESTION.

LET ME SEE IF I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

LEE PETTLE: MR. REED, MS. NOE STILL HAS THE FLOOR.

JIM REED: I'M SORRY, MS. NOE, GO AHEAD.

AMANDA NOE: I'LL YIELD TO MR. REED.

JIM REED: SORRY.

I WANTED TO ASK A QUESTION, MADAM MAYOR.

MY QUESTION I HAVE IS THAT THE PINK FLOODPLAIN THAT WAS SUBMITTED, WAS THAT AN ESTIMATED BASED ON WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE WE'RE CONFUSED A LITTLE BIT ON, IS THAT HOW THAT ACTUALLY CAME TO BE? DUSTIN WENTZ: CORRECT.

AS PART OF THE ENGINEERING PLAN REVIEW PROCESS, NOT ONLY DID WE PREPARE A CONSTRUCTION PLANS, BUT WE PREPARED A DRAINAGE STUDY WHERE WE SAY THIS IS OUR PROPOSED GRADING AND THEN WE ROUTE IT THROUGH THE CITY FOR REVIEW AND BIRKHOFF, HENDRICKSON, AND CARTER IS THE REVIEWER OF THAT STUDY.

THEY REVIEW ALL AS WE GO THROUGH SEVERAL ROUNDS OF COMMENTS ANALYZING THE HYDRAULICS, HYDROLOGY.

THEN ONCE WE GET APPROVAL, THEN WE GO TO CONSTRUCTION.

ONCE CONSTRUCTION IS OVER, THEN YOU GO BACK OUT IN THE FIELD, SURVEYORS PICK UP THE GRADING, AND THEN YOU ROUTE IT BACK THROUGH THE CITY AND FEMA TO REVIEW IT POST PROJECT.

YOU LOOK AT IT BEFORE AND AFTER.

JIM REED: THANK YOU.

I YIELD BACK TO COUNCIL MEMBER KNOW FOR THE FLOOR.

THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR.

LUKE OLSON: YEAH.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS, JOHN CAN CLARIFY THIS, THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT AS POST.

PRE DRAINAGE AND POST DRAINAGE.

WHAT THEY DO IS THEY RUN HECK RISE FOR THAT SYSTEM.

THEY HAVE TO DO A WHOLE BUNCH OF MODELING.

THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE MODELING SYSTEM.

THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT.

AMANDA HAS SEEN IT, THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT A BOOK THIS THICK TO FEMA GOING THROUGH ALL THAT.

FEMA GOES THROUGH THAT WHOLE BOOK AND MAKES SURE ALL THE MODELING IS CORRECT.

I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN PROBABLY 10-15 ROUNDS OF COMMENTS ON THIS PROJECT WITH MODELING BETWEEN JOE AND PRECEDENTS ENGINEERING FIRM ON THIS.

I DO KNOW THAT THIS WAS WELL LOOKED AT AS FAR AS THAT GOES.

I WANT TO NOTE THAT WITHIN THAT MODELING, THEY DID MENTION MORGAN'S CROSSING, I BELIEVE, UP ON THE NORTH SIDE IN ALLEN THAT THOSE PONDS WERE PUT IN WITHIN THAT MODELING SYSTEM.

I DO BELIEVE THOSE ARE TIERED PONDS THAT AS THEY FILL, IT COMES DOWN AT A DIFFERENT RATE THROUGH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, I HAVE NOT SEEN AT LEAST FLOOD YET KNOCK ON WOOD, BUT IT'S COME

[00:40:01]

UP TO THE PARKING LOT IN HERE AT THAT SAME TIME, SO I DO KNOW THAT MUCH.

JOHN MARKOFF: WHEN THEY STARTED THEIR DESIGN, THEY WENT AND GOT THE BASE MODEL FROM THE CORE AND THEN MODIFICATIONS ARE MADE FROM THAT.

THEY MAKE A LOT OF ASSUMPTIONS, THEY BRING IT BACK TO THE CITY FOR REVIEW.

WE QUESTION EVERY THING THAT ALL THOSE ASSUMPTIONS THEY MADE AND THEY RUN IT.

THEY KEEP RUNNING IT UNTIL WE SEE THAT WHEN THEY FILE WITH THE COURT THAT THE 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN IS OUT OF THOSE LOTS.

AS HE SAID, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET A MAP REVISION UNTIL YOU'RE DONE, THE SURVEYS COMPLETED, CONFIRMATION SURVEYS, AND IT GETS SUBMITTED TO THE COURT AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

IT TAKES A WHILE.

EVENTUALLY, THEY WILL ISSUE A NEW MAP.

NOW, THE STUDY THAT THEY DID HAS ALL THAT INFORMATION, AND IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE COUNCIL WANTS TO SIT DOWN AND GO THROUGH, I THINK YOU CAN GO THROUGH THAT AND SEE WHAT THEIR MODEL LOOKS LIKE WHEN IT'S FINISHED.

AMANDA NOE: THANK YOU.

I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION THOUGH.

HOW CAN IT BE SUCH THAT THE LEVEL OF WATER AT THE FLOOD ELEVATION AT THE TOP OF THE STREET OR THE CHANNEL CAN BE ALMOST SEVEN FEET, AND THEN WHEN WE COME DOWN TO A PLACE ABOUT TWO BLOCKS AWAY, IT WOULD ONLY BE THREE FEET.

WHERE DOES THE WATER GO? DUSTIN WENTZ: IT'S A CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA, SO THE WATER IS GOING TO JUST SPREAD OUT TO THE ROOM THAT YOU ALLOW IT, SO IF YOU GO NORTH, IT'S MUCH NARROWER.

AMANDA NOE: THE THREE FOOT ELEVATION IS WITHIN THE CHANNEL.

IT'S UP INTO [INAUDIBLE] . DUSTIN WENTZ: WHICH THREE-FOOT.

AMANDA NOE: THE DEPTH BETWEEN THE BASE OF THAT CEMENT CHANNEL THAT IS PART OF THE BASE OF MAXWELL CREEK UP INTO EASY ACRES IS STILL A SUMMIT CHANNEL, AND THE ELEVATION SHOWN THERE IS 618 FEET AND THE BASE OF IT IS ONLY THREE FEET LOWER.

THE DATA THAT I HAVE BEFORE ME IS TELLING ME THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CHANNEL IS SEVEN FEET, AND BEFORE IT GETS TO THE END, IT'S THREE AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

IF YOU CAN HELP ME UNDERSTAND THAT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

DUSTIN WENTZ: NOW, AS THIS MAP TODAY IS NOT FITTING, THOSE HOMES ARE SHOWN TO BE IN THE FLOOD LAND.

AMANDA NOE: YES.

DUSTIN WENTZ: LIKE I SAID, I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY SET DIVISION IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH, HAS GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REALLY FINE-TUNING THE MODEL, SO IT SHOWS THAT THE FLOODPLAINS CONSIDERABLY WIDER AND IT'S ENCOMPASSING 8-12 HOMES OR WHATNOT.

BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THOSE HOMEOWNERS HAVE NOT REPORTED FLOODING, CORRECT? AMANDA NOE: NO.

DUSTIN WENTZ: I THINK IF THEY WANTED TO, THEY COULD ALL ELECT TO DO A STUDY AND TIGHTEN DOWN ON THAT MAPPING IN THAT AREA.

I THINK IF YOU'RE TRYING TO CONNECT THE DOTS I THINK THERE'S A LEVEL OF MAPPING THAT'S NOT CONSISTENT.

THIS IS A VERY DETAILED STUDY THAT WE'VE DONE FOR THIS PROJECT AND I DON T THINK THEY'VE DONE THAT FOR THE SET DIVISION TO THE NORTH.

NOW I WILL SAY THAT FIRST HOME THE PAD IS AT 622.

FROM MY EXPERIENCE, THE HOME IS USUALLY EIGHT INCHES ABOVE THAT WHEN THEY SENT THEIR FOREIGN BOARD, SO YOU'VE GOT 618 LABELED THERE, I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE CALLING OUT AS THE NORTH SIDE OF THIS PROJECT AND THAT FIRST HOME, THE FINISHED BED IS AT 622.

I THINK THEIR FINISHED FLOOR IS GOING TO BE CLOSE TO 623.

THAT FIRST COLUMN IS GOING TO PROBABLY SIT FIVE FEET ABOVE WHAT YOU'VE GOT CIRCLED THERE.

AMANDA NOE: OKAY.

YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE.

GO ON.

JOHN MARKOFF: WHEN YOU DO A FLOOD STUDY, THE IMPROVEMENTS THEY'RE MAKING, WHETHER IT'S HAVING THEIR POND MOVING, FILL OUT FROM THE CHANNELS, PUTTING IT THERE.

WHAT YOU DO WITH THESE STUDIES, YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT EFFECTS ARE YOU HAVING UPSTREAM OR DOWNSTREAM AND IF YOU HAVE A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT UPSTREAM OR DOWNSTREAM, WHATEVER CONDITIONS ARE, THEN IT FAILS.

IF YOU CAN PROVE OUT THAT YOUR IMPROVEMENTS HAVE NO CHANGE OR VERY SMALL CHANGES TO THE ORDINANCE, THEN YOU MOVE FORWARD.

YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO CAUSE ADVERSE EFFECTS UPSTREAM OR DOWNSTREAM.

AS YOU LOOK AT THEIR MODELING, WHATEVER IS UPSTREAM THAT THEY DON'T FIX THAT NECESSARILY.

WE JUST DON'T HAVE A SIGNIFICANT RISE.

AMANDA NOE: RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

THEN IN TERMS OF THE PROCESS TO COMPLETE THE LETTER OF MAP REVISION, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE NEED TO TIE IN THE MODELING TO WHAT'S UPSTREAM OR DOWNSTREAM IN THE PROCESS OF THE LETTER OF MAP REVISION AND DO YOU HAVE A TIMEFRAME FOR COMPLETING THAT PROCESS? DUSTIN WENTZ: THAT'S THE MAIN FEMALE OUTSOURCES A DAY AND FROM WHEN WE MAKE OUR

[00:45:05]

FIRST SUBMITTAL, WHICH WE'VE ALREADY DONE AND THEY'VE REVIEWED, WE'VE GOT COMMENTS WE'RE ABOUT TO RESUBMIT BY THE END OF THE MONTH.

I WOULD SAY FROM TODAY, I WOULDN'T ANTICIPATE A CALM SIGNING OFF, HOPEFULLY IN ABOUT FIVE TO SIX MONTHS.

IT'S ALL ON THEIR WORKLOADS, SO WE'VE SEEN IT VARY, BUT THAT'S THE TIMEFRAME I WILL GIVE YOU IN AND THAT'S PART OF THEIR REVIEW.

THEY'VE GOT TO SIGN OFF ON IT AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT, SO IT HAS LINGERED A LITTLE LONGER.

IT USED TO ONLY TAKE NINE MONTHS, MAYBE EIGHT MONTHS.

I'VE SEEN IT TAKE 12-13 MONTHS.

AMANDA NOE: THANK YOU.

I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

LEE PETTLE: COUNCIL, ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY.

DUSTIN WENTZ: I CAN PICK MYSELF UP AND WALK AWAY IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE FOR ME.

SLOWLY.

LIKE EXITING THE QUEEN, DON'T TURN AROUND, SLOWLY BACK AWAY.

JOHN MARKOFF: [INAUDIBLE] . DUSTIN WENTZ: JOHN, I HAULED OFF SO MANY ROCKS.

HE SAID, IT'S CRAZY.

BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR WORKING WITH US ON THIS.

IT WAS VERY HELPFUL TO HAVE AN IDENTIFIED LIST OF WHAT NEEDED TO BE REMEDIATED AND THE STANDARD THAT WE WANTED IT REMEDIATED TO.

WE WORKED WITH GARY AND JOHN TO REALLY IDENTIFY THOSE AREAS AND I FEEL LIKE WE REALLY HAVE A GREAT PRODUCT.

IT'S PROBABLY THE BEST PRODUCT THAT WE'VE PUT ON THE GROUND IN PARKER, WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF IT.

OUR SECOND FOUNTAIN SHOULD BE UP AND RUNNING AT ANY POINT IN TIME.

NOW THEY FOUND THE SECOND SPOT, BEAVER CHEWED THROUGH THE CABLE, SO THAT SHOULD BE BACK IN OPERATION SHORTLY.

LUKE OLSON: I WAS GOING TO SAY, I THINK THAT FOUNTAINS, THERE'S ANOTHER FOUNTAIN THAT'S DOWNRIGHT NOW TO.

DUSTIN WENTZ: THE SOUTH ONE? LUKE OLSON: IT WOULD BE THE WEST ONE, JUST OUT THE BELVEDERE.

DUSTIN WENTZ: OH, I SAW THAT IT PROBABLY IS TRASHED.

LUKE OLSON: I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A HEADS UP ON THAT ONE SO THAT WHEN I WAS COMING IN LUKE OLSON: [OVERLAPPING] DUSTIN WENTZ: WE ACTUALLY RESET THEM NOW SO THEY CYCLE OFF AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE AIR RAIDERS RUN 24/7, WHICH ACTUALLY KEEPS THE HEALTH OF THE POND, THE FOUNTAINS ARE JUST AESTHETIC, SO THEY CYCLE OFF AT NIGHT SO THAT IF TRASH GETS SUCKED INTO THE INTAKE, IT CAN PULL ITSELF OUT AND THEN CAN TURN ON AGAIN IN THE MORNING.

THANK YOU.

IF YOU SEE IT TOMORROW, WILL YOU LET ME KNOW? LUKE OLSON: I WILL LET YOU KNOW.

I WILL GLADLY GIVE YOU A CALL.

DUSTIN WENTZ: THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

THANK YOU.

NO OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

LUKE OLSON: THANKS FOR THE UPDATE AND PROMPT ACTION.

LEE PETTLE: OKAY.

MADAM MAYOR, MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL, T HANKS FOR ALLOWING US TO COME.

MY NAME IS FRANK DACOSTA.

I'M THE CURRENT SITTING CHAIRPERSON OF CITY OF PARKER PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION.

WE HAVE ALSO PRESENT WITH US A FEW ROWS BACK, MY WIFE, DONNA DECOSTA, CURRENT TREASURER AT PARKS AND REC.

WE ALSO HAVE PIER BURGESS AND CINDY LANE WHO ARE BOTH SERVING AS PART OF THE COMMISSION AS WELL.

SOON AS WE HAVE A SCREEN, THERE WE GO.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION IS INVOLVED IN A LOT OF THINGS TO IMPROVE, I DON'T KNOW, THE DRAW OF THE PRESERVE.

WE'RE INVOLVED IN CLEANUP OPERATIONS SO WE JUST DID A EARTH DAY RECENTLY AND HAD PEOPLE COME OUT AND CLEAN.

WE OVERSEE THE CULTIVATION OF WILDFLOWERS.

WE DO SIGNAGE, SO THAT'S ATTRACTIVE.

PEOPLE CAN FIND THEIR WAY THROUGH THE PARK.

WE LOOK AT AMENITIES.

WE'VE GOT A SIZABLE DONATION FROM PARKER WOMEN'S CLUB THAT ALLOWED US TO BUY SOME PARK BENCHES AND DO SOME THINGS WITH THAT.

THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE'RE INVOLVED IN AS PARKS AND REC.

[00:55:02]

BUT ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT WE DO, AND I'LL WAVE THE HAND, IS PARKERFEST.

PARKERFEST IS A TRADITION IN THE CITY.

WE'VE HAD IT ON AND OFF OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS LEE PETTLE: [LAUGHTER] FRANK DACOSTA: AS THINGS COME AND GO.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE TEND TO LOVE.

THIS LAST TIME WAS OUR BEST YET, WE HAD OVER 500 ATTENDEES.

JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, THE PREVIOUS YEAR WE HAD ABOUT MAYBE 300.

WE'VE HAD A BOOST OVER PREVIOUSLY.

TWO DOZEN GAMES AND ACTIVITIES FOR YOUNG AND OLD, SO IT'S A BUSY THING.

WE HAD VENDOR BOOTHS THIS YEAR, THE FIRST TIME WE DID THAT IN QUITE A WHILE.

WE HAD A LOCAL MERCHANTS COMING AND SETTING UP THEIR TENTS AND THAT WORKED OUT REALLY WELL.

WE SOUGHT SOME CORPORATE SPONSORS THAT HELPED OUT AN AWFUL LOT AND WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GOOD VOLUNTEER SUPPORT FROM THE CITY.

LOTS OF PEOPLE COMING TO HELP US SETUP AND TEAR DOWN AND MAN DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES AND EVERYTHING SO IT WAS PRETTY GOOD.

IT WAS AN AMBITIOUS UNDERTAKING.

WE HAD THE TEXAS BLUES MAN LAYING DOWN RMB THROUGH THE WHOLE THING SO YOU COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS GOING ON IN THE PRESERVE.

THE PUMPKIN DECORATION STATION IS A BIG DRAW FOR US.

LOTS OF KIDS SITTING AT TABLES DECORATING PUMPKINS.

EVERYBODY LOVES THAT ALL THE TIME.

BOUNCE HOUSE, PETTING ZOO, WE HAD MINIATURE HORSES, ALL THOSE THINGS, AND WE HAD A HAYRIDE.

EVERYBODY LOVED THAT.

YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF USAGE.

WE ALSO INTRODUCED SOMETHING THIS YEAR CALLED PARKER QUEST.

IT WAS HUNT BASED ON USING SMARTPHONES AND QR CODES.

WE JUST PUT THINGS ALL AROUND THE AREA AND KIDS AND ADULTS ARE LIKE, WE'RE GOING AROUND CHASING THAT DOWN.

THAT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL.

IF YOU WANTED TO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC AND ENJOY SOME OF THE FOOD FROM THE TRUCKS, THEN YOU'D SIT UNDER THE FOOD TENT THAT WAS VERY COMFORTABLE THE SUN BEING WHAT IT IS.

WE HAD AGAIN THE VENDOR BOOTHS.

WE HAD SENT A HOLLICH OUT THERE AND WE HAD A LOT OF OTHER MARK MERCHANTS AND WE'RE HOPING TO DO MORE WITH THAT IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS.

THIS IS LIKE AN ASPIRATIONAL THING TO GO AHEAD AND SEE IF WE CAN GET THAT STARTED.

THEN LIKE WE SAID, GAMES WE REALLY INVESTED THIS TIME AROUND.

PREVIOUS PARKERFEST HAD HAD GAMES THAT WE HAD RENTED AND WE HAD SOME THINGS LEFTOVER THAT GOT GOT LOST IN THE SHUFFLE.

WE HAD A REAL HEART TO BUILD A STASH OF GAMES FOR YOUNG AND OLD THAT WE CAN CARRY FORWARD SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO SPEND THAT EVERY YEAR.

WE REALLY FOCUSED ON THAT A LOT.

WHEN I TALK ABOUT THINGS LIKE PARKERFEST, I REALLY WANT TO THANK THE COUNCIL BECAUSE YOU ALL HAVE REGULARLY PREVIOUS COUNCIL AND CURRENT COUNCIL, YOUR SUPPORTIVE OF THE THINGS WE DO AS PARKS AND REC.

YOU'RE OUT THERE WHEN WE GOT THE BAGS ON THE GRIPPERS AND WE'RE CLEANING STUFF, YOU COME OUT TO PARKERFEST.

I THINK IT'S AWESOME.

I THINK IT'S GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF PARKER TO SEE YOU SHOW UP AND SHOW SUPPORT FOR THINGS LIKE THIS.

I THINK IT'S JUST A POSITIVE THING.

FRANK DACOSTA: THE QUESTION IS, WHY DO PARKERFEST? HERE WE ARE AT PARKER, WE'RE SURROUNDED BY MURPHY AND ALLEN AND PLANO, AND THEY HAVE THEIR OWN FESTIVALS.

OUR PEOPLE CAN GO TO THOSE AND MAYBE THEY HAVE MORE OF A BUDGET FOR THAT THING AND THEY COULD DO A BETTER JOB, SO WHY DO WE DO IT? I WAS THINKING THERE ARE PROBABLY TWO REASONS WHY WE WOULD WANT TO DO PARKERFEST.

ONE IS, IT'S A CONSTANT THING EVERY YEAR, IT'S AN ANNUAL THING THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT, THAT PEOPLE IDENTIFY WITH, IT DRAWS THE CITIZENS TOGETHER.

WE HAVE A VARIED CITIZENRY IN PARKER, WE'VE MORE THAN WE MIGHT THINK.

EVERYBODY LOVES A PARTY, AND SO IF THEY ALL COME OUT TO PARKERFEST, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN IDENTIFY WITH, AND THEY CAN SAY, THIS IS WHY I CAME TO PARKER.

THE SECOND REASON IS IT'S AN EXPRESSION OF GOODWILL.

PARKER CITIZENS WILL OFTEN HAVE THINGS TO GRIPE ABOUT, COST OF WATER, OR THE WAY THE STREETS ARE GOING, OR WHATEVER, ALL THESE STRUGGLES, ALL THIS DRAMA, AND PARKERFEST IS A WAY TO DIFFUSE SOME OF THAT DRAMA.

IT'S A WAY FOR THE CITY TO SAY, WE UNDERSTAND, WE'RE DOING OUR BEST, WE ARE TRYING TO SOLVE THIS, BUT LET'S HAVE A FESTIVAL, LET'S PUT THAT ASIDE FOR AWHILE AND LET'S COME TOGETHER.

IT'S AN EXPRESSION OF GOODWILL, SO I THINK THOSE ARE TWO GOOD REASONS.

IT'S GOT VALUE, BUT VALUE COSTS MONEY.

WE HAVE TO SAY THAT PARKERFEST 2022 COST ABOUT $12,000.

I WAS SHOCKED, I WAS LIKE, WELL, YOU HAVE A PICNIC, IT'S NOT GOING TO COST THAT MUCH, BUT THIS IS MORE THAN A PICNIC.

THINGS ADD UP, TENT, TABLES, AND CHAIRS.

ROUGHLY $2,000 ONCE YOU'RE DONE RENTING ALL OF THAT STUFF.

IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND, YOU'RE GOING TO BE STARTING TO SAY, WHY CAN'T WE BORROW SOME, AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, BUT $2,000.

THE BAND, ABOUT $2,000 AND THAT PRICE JUST RISES OVER TIME.

BANDS KNOW THAT THEY CAN GET THE MONEY, SO THERE YOU GO.

[01:00:03]

NEW GAME PURCHASES AND CONSTRUCTION.

AS WE SAID, WE INVESTED THIS YEAR IN BUILDING A STOCK.

HOPEFULLY, THAT MEANS THAT THIS NEXT TIME AROUND WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT AGAIN.

WE NOW HAVE THAT STASHED AWAY.

WE HAVE A FACE PAINTER AND A BALLOON ARTIST AND POPCORN MACHINE AND GENERATORS ADD ALL THAT TOGETHER, ABOUT $2,000 THERE.

BOUNCE HOUSE, PETTING ZOO, PUMPKINS, AND ALL THE ASSOCIATED THINGS WITH THE PUMPKIN DECLARATION STATION, ABOUT TWO GRAND, ROUGH NUMBERS, AGAIN, ROUGH NUMBERS.

THEN FINALLY, SIGNAGE, PARKERFEST.

ORG PRIZES, ALL THESE OTHER THINGS, SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, ABOUT $12,000.

NOW, LET ME STOP AND SAY, PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION IS NOT A FULLY FUNDED PART OF ANYTHING.

WE DON'T HAVE A REVENUE STREAM COMING THROUGH.

WE HAVE SOME MONEY THAT'S ALLOCATED TO US BASICALLY FOR MAINTENANCE, CUT THE GRASS, DO THESE OTHER THINGS.

THERE ISN'T SOMETHING IN PLACE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS.

WHEN YOU COME RIGHT DOWN TO IT, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR.

ABOUT $4,000 OF WORTH CAME FROM SPONSORS, REPUBLIC WASTE BEING THE MOST VISIBLE AND THE LARGEST ONE.

THE OTHER $8,000 CAME OUT OF MY POCKET, THE POCKETS OF MY OTHER COMMISSIONERS.

THEY ALL COMMITTED PERSONAL FUNDS TO PICK UP THE OTHER $8,000 OF PARKERFEST 2022.

WE DON'T THINK THAT'S A SUSTAINABLE PLAN AT ALL.

FRANK DACOSTA: [LAUGHTER] FRANK DACOSTA: WE'RE JUST SAYING, WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO PAY ANOTHER $8,000 IF WE CAN GET AWAY WITH IT.

WE'RE DOING THE THINGS THAT WE SHOULD DO.

WE'RE LOOKING AT COST REDUCTION, STRATEGIES, AND ALL THAT.

IT DOES MAKES NO SENSE FOR US TO OVERSPEND, LET'S TIGHTEN THE BELT.

BUT WE'RE ALSO MORE AGGRESSIVELY AND WE STARTED EARLIER THIS YEAR.

WE'RE SEEKING CORPORATE AND INDIVIDUAL SPONSORS TO COME AND CARRY THE LOAD.

HERE'S WHAT I'M THINKING, I'M WAVING AT YOU.

HERE'S HOW YOU AS CITY COUNCIL CAN HELP.

NUMBER 1, IN YOUR REAL LIVES, BEYOND CITY COUNCIL, YOU HAVE CONTACTS, BUSINESS CONTACTS, PERSONAL CONTACTS WITH PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS WHO MAY FIND SPONSORING PARKERFEST SOMETHING THEY'D LIKE TO DO.

WE AS PARKS AND REC COMMISSION, WOULD LIKE TO ASK, IF YOU HAVE CONTACTS LIKE THAT, WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM THOSE, EITHER HAVE AN ENTREE TO SPEAK WITH PEOPLE WITH YOU AS THE GATEKEEPER, OR EVEN IF POSSIBLE, YOU GUYS SPEAK TO THOSE CONTACTS YOURSELF AND SAY, HEY, PARKERFEST IS A VALUABLE THING, AND MAYBE YOU WOULD FIND SOME BUSINESS REASON WHY IT'D BE A GOOD IDEA TO DROP SOME MONEY IN THIS DIRECTION.

THAT'S THE FIRST WAY YOU CAN HELP.

THE SECOND ONE IS THIS, IF WE GO AROUND TO SPONSORS, THEY'RE GOING TO ASK THE QUESTION.

I'M A BUSINESS OWNER, I'M GOING TO DROP SOME MONEY INTO PARKERFEST, WHAT'S THE CITY DOING? HOW MUCH DOES THE CITY UNDERWRITING PARKERFEST? WHY SHOULD I VALUE PARKERFEST AS A BUSINESS PERSON IF THE CITY DOESN'T VALUE? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, WE'D LIKE TO ASK THE CITY COUNCIL TO BE FLEXIBLE AND SHOW US FAVOR AS THE BUDGETARY BALL ROLLS FORWARD.

ONCE AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE A REVENUE STREAM, WE'D LIKE TO HAVE REVENUE STREAM, NOT JUST FOR PARKERFEST, BUT FOR OTHER THINGS THAT WE CAN DO AS WELL IN THE PRESERVED.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW OR IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BOTHER WITH IT RIGHT NOW, WE'LL HANG AROUND AFTERWARDS AND YOU CAN RAISE QUESTIONS THEN.

JIM REED: IF I CAN SAY SOMETHING REAL QUICK, CAN I HAVE THE FLOOR MAYOR, JUST REAL QUICKLY? LEE PETTLE: GO AHEAD.

JIM REED: FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DONE.

I KNOW THAT PUTTING SOMETHING LIKE THIS TOGETHER TAKES LOTS AND LOTS OF HOURS AND PEOPLE MIGHT JUST SHOW UP AND THEY GO ALL.

THIS IS NEAT, THAT THIS HAS BEEN SET UP LIKE THIS, BUT I FOR ONE KNOW ALL OF THE BACKGROUND THAT HAS TO GO TO PUTTING THIS TOGETHER, SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO NUMBER 1.

SECONDLY, FOR THE PERSONAL INVESTMENT FROM YOU AND YOUR TEAM, AS I THINK, AMAZING FOR THE CITY.

WHAT I'D LIKE TO ADD IS THAT, I THINK THAT WITHIN PARKER, WE'RE ALL FAMILY, REALLY IN THE CITY, BUT WE DON'T GET TO HANG OUT AS FAMILY VERY OFTEN.

I KNOW MAYOR PRO TEM SLAUGHTER, MYSELF TALK A LOT OF TIMES THAT WE MAY HAVE DISAGREEMENTS ON DIFFERENT THINGS ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE END OF THE DAY, WE'RE ALL NEIGHBORS AND FAMILY.

I ALWAYS LIKE THAT HE SAID THAT BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S SO TRUE WITHIN OUR ORGANIZATION THAT WE HAVE THAT COMMUNITY.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LOT MORE OF THIS PERSONALLY, AND I'VE BEEN TALKING WITH MAYOR PEDAL A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS ALREADY AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS AND HIGHLIGHTING THIS, AND YOU HAD A PRETTY GOOD AUDIENCE TODAY IN OUR MEETING, SO THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING AND I THINK WE NEED TO DO MORE OF IT QUITE HONESTLY.

LEE PETTLE: IT'S AWESOME.

I'VE BEEN A PART OF IT FOR YEARS.

THE AMOUNT OF WORK AND WHAT ALL THEY DO IS JUST ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, AND OUR

[01:05:03]

RESIDENTS REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

I'VE HAD RESIDENTS TELL ME, PARKERFEST IS WHY I MOVED HERE FOR MURPHY, I CAME TO PARKERFEST FIRST AND DECIDED Y'ALL WERE WAY BETTER CITY, AND I THINK THAT'S JUST AWESOME.

THE OTHER THING I WILL SHOW YOU AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO GIVE EVERYBODY ONE IS THE PARKERFEST COMMITTEE DOES HAVE POTENTIAL SPONSOR.

JUST STAY IN THIS RIGHT DOWN THERE ON THE TOP.

LEE PETTLE: [LAUGHTER] LEE PETTLE: BECAUSE THEY DID PUT AN AWFUL LOT OF MONEY INTO IT THEMSELVES AND THAT'S JUST WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

BUT LIKE YOU SAID, THAT'S NOT SUSTAINABLE.

FRANK DACOSTA: [OVERLAPPING] FRANK DACOSTA: WE SPENT SOME TIME THINKING THROUGH THE SPONSORSHIP PROCESS.

THE DOCUMENT THAT SHE JUST PASSED ON DOWN, WE CAN MAKE THAT AVAILABLE MORE BROADLY.

THERE'S ALSO A PLACE ON PARKERFEST.

ORG WHERE INDIVIDUAL SPONSORS CAN GO ONLINE AND COMMIT FUNDS OR SUBMIT SOME PAPERWORK AND THEN SEND A CHECK TO THE CITY.

THERE'S MULTIPLE WAYS FOR IT TO HAPPEN.

WE WANT TO MAKE THAT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR INDIVIDUALS OR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS OR EVEN LARGER PLACES TO HELP US OUT.

LEE PETTLE: YEAH.

BECAUSE THE OTHER PART OF THAT IS WE CAN'T KEEP GOING BACK TO THE VERY SAME SPONSOR.

IT WAS LIKE FRANK DACOSTA: [OVERLAPPING] LEE PETTLE: PARKER FAST, CAN'T YOU GO BACK AND GET SPONSORS FOR THE TREE LIGHTING AND FOR CHRISTMAS? NO.

LEE PETTLE: [LAUGHTER] LEE PETTLE: YOU CAN'T BURN YOUR PEOPLE OUT.

WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL ON THAT.

WE CAN DO A BETTER JOB AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN SUPPORT THEM IN THE BEST FASHION POSSIBLE.

BECAUSE WE DO APPRECIATE YOU AND DONNA, CINDY HERE, AND SHERRY, I DON'T SEE SHERRY HERE THIS EVENING.

FRANK DACOSTA: SHE HAD TO GO.

LEE PETTLE: LEANNE AND ALL THE MEMBERS OF YOUR COMMITTEE AND OF THE COMMISSION, Y'ALL DO AWESOME STUFF.

FRANK DACOSTA: THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I APPRECIATE IT.

AMANDA NOE: THANK YOU.

LEE PETTLE: THANK YOU.

THE NEXT PART OF THIS IS CONSIDERATION AND OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NUMBER 2023-745, MAKING APPOINTMENTS TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION.

RECENTLY, WE HAD A RESIGNATION FROM KIMBERLEY CRENSHAW FOR HEALTH REASONS, AND THAT LEAVES AN OPEN COMMISSIONER POSITION.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AND FRANK FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME, THAT YOUR RECOMMENDATION FOR AN APPOINTMENT IS SHERRY, WERE? FRANK DACOSTA: THAT'S CORRECT.

LEE PETTLE: FOR A VOTING MEMBER.

THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND AN APPOINTMENT OF SHERRY WERE TO THE COMMISSION? MICHAEL SLAUGHTER: MADAM MAYOR, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION ON THE MOTION, DO WE NEED TO ACCEPT MS. SANCHEZ? RESIGNATION IS ONE MOTION.

WE CAN ACCEPT THE RESIGNATION AND DO THE APPOINTMENT ALL IN ONE? LEE PETTLE: WELL, SOMEHOW I DON'T SEE THE RESIGNATION ON HERE.

LEE PETTLE: [LAUGHTER] LEE PETTLE: DID WE? DIDN'T REALLY DO THAT.

LEE PETTLE: [BACKGROUND] LEE PETTLE: IT'S NOT HERE.

MICHAEL SLAUGHTER: I CAN JUST ACCEPT THE RESOLUTION I DON'T HAVE TO SPECIFICALLY POINT OUT THE RESIGNATION? LEE PETTLE: THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.

MICHAEL SLAUGHTER: MADAM MAYOR, THAT I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE RESOLUTION 2023-745 AND EXCEPT THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION OF APPOINTING SHERRY WERE TO THE COMMISSIONER SEAT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY HELD BY MS. HINGE SHAW THAT MS. HINGE SHAW FOR SERVICE AND ACCEPT A RESIGNATION.

AMANDA NOE: MADAM MAYOR, I SECOND THE MOTION.

LEE PETTLE: WE HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM SLAUGHTER, AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER NOE TO ACCEPT MS. HINGE SHAW RESIGNATION AND APPOINT SHERRY WERE TO HER UNEXPIRED TERM.

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

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 2023-745 PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

ANYONE OPPOSED? NOT HEARING THAT? IT PASSES 5, 0.

ITEM NUMBER 10, CONSIDERATION AND OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ACCEPTING

[10.CONSIDERATION AND/OR ANY APPROPRIATE ACTION ACCEPTING A DONATION IN THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF $1,500 FROM TOP OF TEXAS POD TO BE ALLOCATED TO THE CITY OF PARKER VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT.]

A DONATION AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF $1,500 FROM THE TOP OF TEXAS POD TO BE ALLOCATED TO THE CITY OF PARKER VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT.

FOR COUNCIL THAT'S NOT AWARE OF, THE MAYOR CAN ACCEPT DONATIONS TO THE CITY UP TO THE AMOUNT OF $500.

ANYTHING OVER MUST COME HERE, AND THAT'S ALSO WHY WE NOTE EVERYTHING EVEN THOUGH

[01:10:05]

IT'S ACCEPTED.

CHIEF CHEF WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS OR JUSTICE FROM THE CHILI COOK OFF? LUKE OLSON: THIS IS THE DONATION FROM THE CHILI COOK OFF THAT THEY HAD AT SOUTH FORK.

I THINK IT WAS ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO.

KENNY WAS ACTUALLY A JUDGE OUT THERE FOR THE CHILI COOK OFF.

LUKE OLSON: [LAUGHTER] LUKE OLSON: WE BOUGHT THEM A LOT OF ROLAIDS AFTERWARDS, LUKE OLSON: [LAUGHTER] LUKE OLSON: AND I THINK HE'S PRETTY GOOD WITH THAT, SO.

BUT NOW WE DO APPRECIATE THEM OFF FOR MAKING THAT DONATION TO US.

LEE PETTLE: WE DO APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.

JIM REED: WE DO NEED THE MOTION.
