MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS.

GOOD EVENING.

UH, THIS ITEM IS, UM, FOR SARY SEWER CONTROL EASEMENT.

UM, IT'S FOR THE AUBREY, UM, COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THERE AT SPRING HILL AND 3 77.

UM, WE TALKED WITH THE CLIENT, THEY, UH, WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW, UH, A LITTLE BIT LONGER.

SO TONIGHT WE JUST ASK THAT YOU, UH, APPROVE THE EASEMENT, UH, AND GIVE THE CITY MANAGER THE ABILITY TO EXECUTE THE DOCUMENT.

AS FAR AS NUMBER EIGHT, I MOVE TO APPROVE THE EASEMENT SUBJECT TO THE DEVELOPER'S FINAL REVIEW AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO FINALIZE THE DOCUMENT.

ALL FAVOR.

PASS FORWARD TO ZERO.

ALRIGHT, TAX INCREMENT,

[Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 4 Board Meeting]

UH, THE COUNCIL WILL RECESS INTO THE TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER FOUR BOARD MEETING TO DISCUSS THE FOLLOWING.

UH, CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING THE PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT.

ZONE NUMBER FOUR, A ZONE CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 159.9 ACRES OF LAND GENERATED LOCATED SOUTH OF FM 4 28, WEST OF FM 1385 AND EAST OF COFFEE ROAD, AND WITHIN THE CITY OF AUBREY, PROVIDING A FINAL PROJECT AND FINANCING PLAN.

PURSUANT TO CHAPTER THREE 11 OF THE TEXAS TAX CODE, I MOVE TO RECESS INTO THE TIERS BOARD MEETING.

SECOND, MY RANDY SECOND, MY JEFF.

ALL IN FAVOR, PASS FOUR TO ZERO TIME SIX 12.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNSEL.

UH, MY NAME IS JENNIFER SLOAN.

I'M WITH UNICAP.

WE'RE YOUR TOURS AND PET ADMINISTRATORS.

UM, SO TONIGHT I'M HERE TO PRESENT TO YOU THE FINAL PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN.

IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, I WAS HERE BACK IN OCTOBER WHEN WE CREATED THE TOURS.

UM, AND SO HERE TONIGHT WE'RE JUST HERE, WE'VE, UM, ISSUED THE BONDS ON BEHALF OF THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT FOR DUCK POINT.

AND SO WE'RE HERE TO FINALIZE THE PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN.

AND THIS IS JUST AN OVERVIEW, SO I'M GOING TO SKIP THROUGH THAT AND JUST KIND OF GET TO THE FINAL INFORMATION ON THE PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN.

UM, HERE IS A CURRENT MAP OF THE PROPERTY, UM, AND THE TUR ZONE, THE AREA THAT IS WITHIN THAT BOUNDARY.

UM, THE ZONE CONSISTS OF ABOUT APPROXIMATELY 159.9 ACRES.

THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION RATE IS 48%.

AND THIS IS A, UM, TAX AND CURRENT REINVESTMENT ZONE MEANT TO BE USED AS AN OFFSET TO THE PIT ASSESSMENTS FOR THE DUCK POINT PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

UM, THE DEVELOPMENT IS, IS PURELY RESIDENTIAL.

UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE 445, UM, 448 UNITS EXPECTED, AND THE COMPLETION TIMELINE OF 2030, THE PROJECT COSTS FOR THIS PROJECT ARE 31,301,769.

THIS INCLUDES, UM, THESE ARE ALL THE COSTS, UM, UPDATED WITH, UM, THE FINAL COSTS FOR THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN.

AND THE BONDS THAT WERE APPROVED BACK IN FEBRUARY, UM, INCLUDING THE TERMS ADMINISTRATION COST, THE PROJECTED ASSESSED VALUE.

SO AT THE, UM, THE END OF THE TERM IN 2054, THERE'S A PROJECTED VALUE OF 358,010,290.

THE BASE VALUE IS ZERO AND THE INCREMENTAL VALUE, THEREFORE I WILL BE 358,010,290.

UM, THE CITY OF AUBREY'S PROJECTED APPRAISED BUILD OUT AT THE TIME OF COMPLETION, UM, OF THE PROJECT IS 227,034,344.

AGAIN, THAT BASE VALUE IS ZERO.

UM, SO THAT TOTAL PROJECTED INCREMENTAL APPRAISED VALUE, UM, IS 2200 $27,034,344.

UM, SO WHAT IS EXPECTED TO BE COLLECTED IN THAT 20, UH, JANUARY 31ST, 2032.

THAT'LL BE THE FIRST YEAR THAT INCREMENTS, UM, ARE AT THAT TIME WHEN COMPLETION.

THE, UM, INCREMENT COLLECTED WILL BE $1,053,439,

[00:15:01]

UM, WITH THE TOTAL AVAILABLE TO PROJECT COST BEING $505,651.

OKAY, SO FOR THE TOTAL PROJECTED TAX REVENUE THROUGH THE WHOLE TERM IS 34,531,987.

AGAIN, THAT PERCENTAGE OF PARTICIPATION IS 48%.

SO THE TOTAL VALUE, UM, OUR TOTAL PROJECTED E UM, INCREMENTAL TAX REVENUE AVAILABLE FOR PROJECT COST WILL BE 16,575,354, LEAVING A BALANCE OF $17,956,633 THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO THE CITY.

AGAIN, I, WE HAVE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

NO QUESTIONS.

NO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

MOVE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT.

ZONE NUMBER FOUR IS PRESENTED.

SECOND, MR. MY, JEFF SECOND, MY CHECK.

ALL FAVOR PASSES FOUR TO ZERO.

ALRIGHT, WITH THAT, WE'LL

[Reconvene into Regular Session]

RECONVENE INTO REGULAR SESSIONS.

TIME IS SIX 16.

SHE'S NOT HERE YET.

ON ORDINANCE REGARDING APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PROJECT AND FINANCING PLAN FOR THE TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE.

SO WE CAN DO 10, UH, CONSIDERATION ACTION

[New Business]

NUMBER FOUR, MOVE TO APPROVE.

SECOND MOTION BY RANDY.

SECOND BY JEFF.

ALL IN FAVOR PASSES FOUR TO ZERO OH CHUCK.

MOTION BY CHUCK.

SECOND BY JEFF PASSES FOUR TO ZERO.

UM, WE'RE HAVE TO SKIP THE NEXT THREE.

SO, ITEM 14, CONSIDERATION AND ACTS ON A PETITION FROM PROPERTY OWNER WAYNE MC, DATED MARCH 26TH, 2025, REQUESTING REMOVAL OF AN APPROXIMATE 21.822 ACRES OF LAND FROM THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF THE CITY OF AUBREY, UM, IDENTIFIED, UH, AS DENTON COUNTY PARCELS, 3 2 9 8 4 2 AND 4 9 8 4 4 0.

MAYOR AND COUNSEL.

THIS WAS A REQUEST SENT TO THE CITY SECRETARY VIA EMAIL.

IT WAS NOT AN ACTUAL PETITION, AND IT WAS RECEIVED ON THE DATE THAT THE MAYOR READ.

UM, FROM THE AGENDA, I MOVED THE PETITION FROM WIND MCGREGOR TO REMOVE AN APPROXIMATELY 21.822 ACRES OF LAND IDENTIFIED BY OWNER AS DENTON COUNTY PARCEL 3 2 9 8 4 2 AND PARCEL 4 9 8 4 4 0 FROM THE CITY'S EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION.

BE DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS.

ONE, THE PETITION DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF CHAPTER 42 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE FOR AN ETJ RELEASE PETITION.

AND TWO, ALTERNATIVELY, SENATE BILL 2 0 3 8, LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONS 42.104 AND 42.105 ARE AN UNCON UNCONSTITUTIONAL DELEGATION OF LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY AND CONFLICT WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

CODE SECTION FOUR, 2.02, THREE AND THREE.

THE CITY DOES NOT CONSENT TO REMOVAL ALL THE PROPERTY FROM ITS ETJ.

SECOND MOTION BY AARON.

SECOND, JEFF.

UM, SO WHAT IS OPEN STORAGE? OPEN STORAGE IS THE OUTSIDE STORAGE OF MATERIALS, GOODS, MERCHANDISE, OR EQUIPMENT AND OPEN AREAS SUCH AS YARDS, LOTS OR VACANT LAND.

ALL RIGHT, 15 CONSIDERATION ON ACTS ACTION ON ORDINANCES 8 9 8 DASH 25 AMENDING ARTICLE 6.04, GARBAGE, TRASH, AND RUBBISH OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES BY ADOPTING DEFINITIONS AND AMENDING REGULATIONS FOR OPEN STORAGE.

UH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND UH, CITY COUNCIL.

UM, TODAY I'M GOING TO BE, UH, DISCUSSING, UH, AMENDING THE CITY OF AUBREY'S CURRENT STORING OR KEEPING ORDINANCE 6.0 4.001.

UH, TWO MORE EFFECTIVE ORDINANCE.

SECOND TACTICAL, UH, CONCERNS THAT I'VE SEEN THROUGHOUT, UH, RESIDENTIAL AREAS IN THE CITY.

UM, THE CITY CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING THAT, UH, OR ANY ORDINANCE THAT ADDRESSES OPEN STORAGE.

UM, OH, THANK YOU.

I'M NOT QUITE THERE YET.

UM, I'VE BEEN RECEIVING MORE AND MORE CONCERNS LATELY, UH, REGARDING OPEN STORAGE AND, UH, ITEMS OUT IN FRONT YARDS AND FRONT LAWNS.

UM, THAT'S JUST KIND OF PILING UP AND I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY WAY TO ADDRESS THOSE TYPES OF ITEMS, UM, JUST 'CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING IN THE ORDINANCE FOR THEM.

[00:20:02]

THIS INCLUDES ITEMS LIKE CONSTRUCTION, MATERIAL, APPLIANCES, FURNITURE, UH, NOT MEANT FOR, UH, OUTDOOR USE, GAS AND OIL CONTAINERS, DOLLIES, LADDERS, COOLERS.

UM, OPEN STORAGE DOES NOT INCLUDE, UH, STORAGE OF, UM, FURNITURE THAT IS MEANT TO BE STORED OUTSIDE.

UM, COOKING EQUIPMENT, OUTDOOR HEATERS, FIREWOOD, FIRE PITS, UM, AND OTHER ITEMS DESIGNED TO BE STORED OUTSIDE OR OUTSIDE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING.

UM, IF THOSE ITEMS ARE STORED IN A MANNER THAT DOES NOT CREATE A RISK, UH, TO THE HEALTH SAFETY OR, UM, CONSTITUTE A PUBLIC HEALTH, UM, RISK.

SO, SO, UH, WHY DOES THIS MATTER? OPEN STORAGE IMPACTS THE COMMUNITY, UM, SAFETY, PUBLIC HEALTH, PROPERTY VALUES, AND CITY AESTHETICS.

AND THE ORDINANCE AIMS TO SIT CLEAR AND FAIR STANDARDS FOR A CLEANER AND SAFER ENVIRONMENT.

PUBLIC SAFETY AND HEALTH RISKS.

UH, OPEN STORAGE OFTEN LEADS TO TRASH AND DEBRIS ENTERING, UH, WATERWAYS, UH, FIRE HAZARDS FROM FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AND OUTDOOR, I'M SORRY, UH, FLAMMABLE MATERIALS STORED OUTDOORS THAT ATTRACTS PESTS LIKE RODENTS, SNAKES AND INSECTS, UH, POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR, UH, MATERIAL RUNOFF INTO THE SOIL AND WATERWAYS.

UH, THE ORDINANCE WOULD PREVENT ILLEGAL DUMPING ON OPEN LOTS AND WOULD PRESERVE GREEN IN PUBLIC SPACES.

VISUAL IMPACT ON COMMUNITIES AND BUSINESSES.

OPEN STORAGE CREATES A VISUAL BLIGHT.

IT DISCOURAGES NEIGHBORHOOD PRIDE AND INVESTMENT.

IT DETERS NEW DEVELOPMENT AND REVITALIZATION PROJECTS.

IT'S UNSIGHTLY, UH, PROPERTY, UH, UNSIGHTLY PROPERTIES DRAGGED DOWN NEIGHBORING HOME AND BUSINESS VALUES NEGATIVELY AFFECTS THE CITY'S IMAGE, AND ULTIMATELY, A CLEANER AREAS EQUAL A HIGHER APPEAL FOR BUYERS, RENTERS, AND INVESTORS.

SO THE ORDINANCE CHANGE.

UM, WE WOULD BE SWAPPING OUT THE STORING AND KEEPING ORDINANCE FOR A NEW, UH, OPEN STORAGE ORDINANCE.

UM, THE NEW ORDINANCE WOULD READ IT IS AN OFFENSE FOR AN OWNER, OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE, OCCUPANT OR PERSON WITH CARE, CUSTODY CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY TO ALLOW OPEN STORAGE IN A RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.

WE'LL ALSO BE ADDING DEFINITIONS FOR OPEN STORAGE.

AND, UM, IN CHAPTER SIX, WE'LL ALSO BE ADDING, UH, DEFINITIONS FOR REFUSE AND PARKWAY, UM, JUST BECAUSE THOSE WERE NOT REALLY DEFINED IN THAT ORDINANCE, AND IT'D BE GOOD JUST SO THERE WOULD BE NO QUESTIONS AS TO WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS.

SO, UH, IN CONCLUSION, UM, IF THIS IS A SIMPLE STEP WITH WIDE REACHING BENEFITS, IT'LL IMPROVE, UH, SAFETY, CLEANLINESS, AND LIVABILITY WITHIN THE CITY.

BEAUTIFICATION, UH, TRACKS TOURISM AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY.

IT ENCOURAGES, UH, RESPONSIBLE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE.

IT REINFORCES EXISTING ZONING AND BEAUTIFICATION PLANS, AND IT SUPPORTS A STRATEGIC VISION FOR ORALLY AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH.

ALRIGHT, SO I'VE GOT A QUESTION.

YES.

SO WHAT'S THE GRACE PERIOD? GENERALLY WHAT WE WOULD ALLOW FOR IS I MAKE FIRST CONTACT EITHER, UM, IN PERSON BY PHONE OR TEXT, UM, JUST TO LET 'EM KNOW, UM, WHAT THE VIOLATION IS, WHY WE HAVE IT, AND GENERALLY GIVEN ABOUT 10 DAYS TO GET THAT BACK INTO COMPLIANCE.

UNLESS, UM, WE HAVE AN OPEN DIALOGUE ABOUT IF THEY NEED MORE TIME, AND THEN I'M, I'M MORE THAN FLEXIBLE WITH THEM TO, TO GIVE THEM THE TIME THEY NEED TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE.

BECAUSE IF I'M CLEANING OUT MY GARAGE AND TRASH IS ON THURSDAY, ABSOLUTELY.

I DON'T WANNA BE RUNNING AROUND.

NO.

UM, IT, IT, THE WAY WE STAND MOSTLY IS, IS IF THE PUBLIC IS TRYING TO WORK WITH US, WE ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM IF THEY NEED EXTRA TIME.

I MEAN, WE'VE HAD PROPERTIES WHERE IT'S GOING TO TAKE MAYBE ABOUT A MONTH TO GET JUST TRASH CLEANED UP, AND SO WE'LL GIVE 'EM THAT TIME AS LONG AS WE HAVE, UH, A CLEARER IDEA OF WHAT'S GONNA BE HAPPENING BY NEXT WEEK, AND THEN TWO WEEKS AFTER THAT, AS LONG AS THEY CAN GIVE US A, A PLAN OF ATTACK, THEN WE'LL, WE'RE WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM.

SIZED GARAGE, YOU KNOW THAT VARIOUS THINGS THAT YOU ACQUIRE THROUGHOUT YOUR LIVES END UP PROBABLY BEING STORED IN YOUR GARAGE.

MR. CHAIR.

UM, THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS WILLIAM CHERRY.

I LIVE AT, UH, 400 SOUTH MAIN STREET, UH, COMING UP ON 25 YEARS.

AND, UM, I'D LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE.

UM, AS I WAS COMING TO THIS MEETING, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THIS, UH, SUBDIVISION HERE AND TRYING TO DO A LITTLE MENTAL COUNT OF HOW MANY PROPERTIES MIGHT BE IN VIOLATION, AND IT WAS VERY FEW, BUT ANOTHER FEATURE THAT THIS SUBDIVISION HAS IS MOST OF THE HOUSES HERE HAVE VERY GOOD SIZED GARAGES.

AND IF YOU'VE EVER LIVED IN A HOUSE THAT HAS A GOOD

[00:25:01]

IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I LIVE IN, UH, IT'S VERY UNUSUAL FOR THE HOUSES TO HAVE GARAGES.

AND IN AN OLD COUNTRY TOWN LIKE AUBREY, IT'S VERY NATURAL TO STORE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF STUFF ON PEOPLE'S BACK PORCHES IN THEIR, UM, UN ENCLOSED CARPORTS, OR WE HAVE MAYBE LARGER LOTS THAN THIS SUBDIVISION DOES.

AND SO THERE'S MAYBE MORE OUTSIDE SPACE TO USE FOR SOME, UM, AMOUNT OF STORAGE.

AND I THINK AN ORDINANCE LIKE THIS PUTS AN UNDUE BURDEN ON THOSE OF US THAT LIVE IN SUBDIVISIONS THAT AREN'T, THAT DON'T COME WITH BIG SIZED GARAGES.

UM, I, I'D ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT, UH, HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE AND ELECTRONICS RECYCLING ONLY HAPPENS ONCE A YEAR.

SO SOMETIMES I HAD A BLOWER MOTOR, A BURNED OUT BLOWER MOTOR THAT YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO THROW IN THE REGULAR TRASH.

I HAD IT STORED ON MY BACK PORCH UNTIL THE MOST RECENT, UH, ELECTRONICS RECYCLING A FEW WEEKS AGO, WHICH I, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU GUYS ORGANIZED THAT, BUT IT'S ONLY ONCE A YEAR.

AND SO, UM, IF SOMEBODY GAVE YOU 10 DAYS, I, I COULD, I PERSONALLY COULD HAVE PUT THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE, BUT THERE'S OTHER HOUSES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THEY COULDN'T.

UM, I DID A WALK AROUND MY OWN NEIGHBORHOOD EARLIER IN THE WEEK, AND I THINK EVERY HOUSE ON MY BLOCK IS IN VIOLATION OF THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE.

AND MORE THAN HALF OF THE, MORE THAN HALF OF THE PROPERTIES IN THE EXTENDED, UM, NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, WITHIN EYESIGHT OF MY HOUSE, THE MOST EXTENSIVE USE OF OUTSIDE STORAGE RIGHT NOW IS OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, WHICH I FIND, UH, WHICH I FOUND SORT OF INTERESTING IS THE, ALL THE CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL STORED AT VETERANS PARK.

VETERANS PARK, OF COURSE, IS NOT A, UH, RESIDENTIAL LOT, BUT I FIND IT SOMEWHAT HYPOCRITICAL THAT THE CITY WANTS TO PROPOSE A $2,000 FINE FOR RESIDENTS FOR THINGS THAT IT DOES IN THE ROUTINE COURSE OF ITS BUSINESS.

UM, I THINK THE CONCERN ABOUT SNAKES AND RODENTS IS OVERBLOWN.

AS I SAID, I'VE LIVED THERE FOR 25 YEARS WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE DOING OPEN STORAGE.

I'VE RUN INTO SNAKES VERY OCCASIONALLY AGAINST SOMETHING I THINK YOU WOULD EXPECT TO DO IN A COUNTRY TOWN, AND I'VE HAD MOLES MORE FREQUENTLY, SO SOMETIMES I DON'T MIND THE SNAKES BECAUSE THEY GO AFTER THE MOLES.

UM, AND, UH, I THINK THAT'S MOSTLY WHAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THIS IS ONLY IN THE FRONT, RIGHT? THIS DOESN'T, THIS DOESN'T AFFECT BACK PORCH AS FAR AS THE ORIGIN WRITTEN RIGHT NOW, WE SCORING FROM THE .

AS I MENTIONED, YOU ALL, UM, APPROVED THE PRELIMINARY PLAT.

LET ME ALSO SAY I, I COULD SUPPORT A MORE LIMITED THING WHERE IT SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANTED TO EXCLUDE JUST FRONT YARDS, OR IF YOU WANTED TO SAY WITH NOT WITHIN 10 FEET OF THE PROPERTY LINE, OR NOT, MORE THAN 30% OF THE LOT COULD BE COVERED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

BUT YEAH, SO IT, IT IS FROM VISIBLE FROM THE STREET.

SO IF IT'S IN THE BACK, RIGHT? BUT AGAIN, MOST OF THE HOUSES, IT MAY NOT BE VISIBLE.

MOST OF THE HOUSES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, EVERYTHING IS VISIBLE FROM THE STREET.

SOME, LIKE I LIVE ON A CORNER LOT.

THERE'S FENCING ON SOME OF THE LOT LINES, BUT IT'S JUST CYCLONE FENCE, RIGHT? SO MY BACK PORCH, MY, MY, UH, CARPORT.

IT, IT'S, IT'S, I MEAN, SOME OF IT'S CONCEALED SOMEWHAT BY LANDSCAPE, BUT, BUT IT, THERE IS SOME SIGHTLINE TO IT.

IS THERE A WAY THAT THAT COULD BE CLARIFIED IN THE ORDINANCE? YOU THINK WE CAN? YES.

OKAY, THEN, UH, I'M GONNA MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE THIS AND BRING IT BACK NEXT MONTH.

SO I MAKE, MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE THIS AND BRING IT BACK NEXT MONTH.

UH, MOTION BY JEFF, SECOND BY CHUCK TO TABLE TOTAL NEXT MONTH.

ALL IN FAVOR? ALL AGAINST PASSES THREE TO ONE.

ALRIGHT, HELEN EVE, YOU'RE HERE.

YES, SIR.

WE GO BACK TO ITEM 11.

UH, CONSIDER AND ACT ON A FINAL PLAT APPLICATION FOR THE TRU EDITION.

UH, THANK YOU CITY COUNCIL.

I APOLOGIZE FOR MY NESS.

SO THE, THE FIRST ITEM I BELIEVE LAST YEAR, YOU ALL, UM, MOST OF YOU'RE FAMILIAR, YOU ACTED ON A PRELIMINARY PLA UH, SO THIS IS THE FINAL PLAT.

THE NEXT STEP IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

IT'S THE TWO LOTS AND THE PROPERTY'S TITLED, UM, TRI TRITE EDITION.

AND THE, UH, LOT ONE ON THE IMAGE IS FOR A, A GENERAL RETAIL TRACT.

AND THE REMAINING PORTION IS, IS FOR, UM, CITY PARK AS WELL AS OTHER, UM, RELATED USES.

UH, THE PLAT FALLS ON THREE DIFFERENT SHEETS.

UM, THEY'RE IN YOUR AGENDA PACKET UP HERE.

YOU SEE TWO, YOU CAN KIND OF PIECE 'EM TOGETHER.

UM, BECAUSE IT DOES FALL ON TWO SHEETS, IT'S HARD TO PUT IT UP ON THE, THE MAP.

SO THE, UM,

[00:30:01]

BEFORE THAT THERE WAS THE, UH, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND ANNEXATION AND ZONING.

AND THE PLAT HAS BEEN THROUGH REVIEW.

THE CITY ENGINEER HAS REVIEWED AND APPROVED THE, THE PLAT, AND WE DO HAVE A ONE CONDITION RECOMMENDATION IS THAT, UM, THE RECORDING INFORMATION FOR A MUSTANG, UM, SERVICE UTILITY DISTRICT EASEMENT BE PROVIDED FOR ON THE PLAT PRIOR TO IT BEING FILED.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED IT, UH, HUMANLY AT THEIR LAST MEETING.

AND THE OPTIONS ARE OUTLINED ABOVE.

UM, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT WITH THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS.

YOU COULD ADD ANY, UH, CONDITIONS OR, UM, DENY THE FINAL PLAT.

THE APPLICANTS ARE HERE THIS EVENING, THE CITY AS WELL AS THE, THE CITY, THE ENGINEER PROJECT ENGINEER.

I MOVE TO CONDITIONALLY APPROVE THE TI ADDITIONAL FLAT FINAL PLAP DEPENDENT UPON COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITION ONE AS PRESENTED.

SECOND, MR. MY AARON SECOND BY JEFF ON FAVOR PASSES FOUR TO ZERO.

ALRIGHT, ITEM 12, CONSIDER AN ACT ON A STOP PLAN APPLICATION FOR THE REDFERN EDITION.

YES, SIR.

THESE NEXT TWO ITEMS ARE RELATED.

A SITE PLAN IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO A PRELIMINARY PLAT BEING, UH, SUBMITTED OR APPROVED, AND WE ALLOW A PROJECTS TO COME IN AND PROCESS THESE APPLICATIONS SIMULTANEOUSLY TO, TO KEEP THEM GOING THROUGH THE REVIEW PROCESS.

THE PROPERTY IS ONE LOT.

IT IS LOCATED ALONG REDFERN, JUST EAST OF 3 77.

THE, THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED A A, A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AS WELL AS A PD DISTRICT, AND THE SITE PLAN COMPLIES WITH THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.

UM, THEY DO HAVE A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE TO THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS, THE TREES, AND SCREENING AROUND THE DETENTION POND.

AND AS, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE DETENTION AREA IS UP HERE ON THE SITE PLAN TO THE, THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN.

AND I BELIEVE I HAVE, LET'S SEE, THE LANDSCAPE PLAN.

YES, YOU CAN SEE THEY'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB AT, AT LANDSCAPING AND PROVIDING FOR THE TREES.

THE, IF YOU TRY TO ADD MORE TREES THAN THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO BE THERE, YOU PLAN 'EM TOO CROWDED, THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE SUCCESSFUL OR AS SUCCESSFUL AND GROW AND MATURE.

ADDITIONALLY, THE DETENTION AREA IS WHAT WE CALLED A, A DETENTION OR DRY POND.

IT'S NOT A WET POND THAT RETAINS WATER.

SO THEREFORE THE, UH, FENCING AROUND IT IS, IS NOT NECESSARILY NEEDED.

THE, UH, PHOTOMETRIC PLAN, UM, HAS BEEN SUBMITTED.

THE CITY ENGINEER REVIEWED IT.

IT'S BACK IN THE APPLICANT'S, UM, BALL COURT FOR THEM TO MAKE CHANGES AND SUBMIT THAT TO MEET THE STANDARDS THE ELEVATIONS ARE ON, UM, THIS SHEET AS WELL AS THE NEXT SHEET.

THEY MATCH WHAT IS REQUIRED WITH THE PD DISTRICT.

AND THE ONLY, UM, CONDITIONS THAT WE HAVE ARE THAT THE PHOTOMETRIC PLAN BE APPROVED BY THE CITY ENGINEER AND THAT CITY COUNCIL.

YOU APPROVE THE VARIANCE FOR THE FENCING AROUND THE DETENTION POND AS WELL AS THE ADDITIONAL TREES.

AND THE APPLICANT HERE, THE APPLICANT'S HERE THIS EVENING, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

AND IS THERE, IS THERE A MASONRY WALL ON THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE? NO, SIR.

NOT REQUIRED.

IT'S NOT REQUIRED IF THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES ARE NOT WITHIN THE CITY.

SO THEY'RE NOT CONSIDERED RESIDENTIAL OR A DISTRICT THAT YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE THAT TYPE OF SCREENING.

THEY'RE PROPOSING A, A WOOD FENCE.

UM, THE WOOD FENCE ALSO HELPS WITH DRAINAGE FROM SITE TO SITE.

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A UTILITY EASEMENT THROUGH THE PROPERTY.

YES, SIR.

DO THEY HAVE PERMIT TO DO PARKING UNDER THE UTILITY ON THE UTILITIES? THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.

TO MY KNOWLEDGE, YES.

THESE BUILDINGS ARE 12 50% MASONRY ON THE STREET FACING SIDE OR WHAT? ON RED REDFERN? YEAH, THERE'S, THERE'S, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE ARE ANY MASONRY REQUIREMENTS

[00:35:01]

ALONG MM-HMM .

ALONG REDFERN.

MM-HMM .

WELL, THE, THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT HAD SPECIFIC LANDSCAPE BUFFER REQUIREMENTS AND TREE REQUIREMENTS ALONG THERE.

HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT MASONRY ON STREET FACING SIDES.

WHAT THAT INDEED FROM , IT'S THE BUILDINGS.

MM-HMM .

OH, OKAY.

I I I'M FOLLOWING WHAT YOU'RE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WE TRACKED A LOT OF THAT DOWN AND DID NOT FIND, UM, THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

YEAH, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK IT FA IF IT WAS TALKED ABOUT, IT DIDN'T FALL THROUGH WITHIN THE COUNCIL ACTION.

IT'S IN THE PD.

NO, NO, YOU'RE SAYING IT, DID IT GET THE RIGHT, I CAN GRAB MY LAPTOP AND THEY'RE THERE TOO.

I'LL LOOK IT UP.

BUT, UM, CAN WE HEAR FROM THE DEVELOPER ON WHETHER WE'RE GONNA HAVE MASONRY, UH, AT THIS POINT, MY NAME IS IAN NORFOLK.

I'M THE CIVIL ENGINEER.

I'M REPRESENTING THE DEVELOPER TONIGHT.

AT THIS POINT IN TIME, IT IS, ALL THE RESEARCH WE HAVE DONE SO FAR SAYS THAT IT IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE MASONRY ALONG THAT FRONTAGE.

AND WE'VE BEEN THROUGH STAFF FOR A LITTLE BIT.

UM, WE ARE CURRENTLY, WE GOT THE PHOTOMETRIC PLAN BACK ON TUESDAY, AND WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING THROUGH THAT.

I BELIEVE THERE'S A, LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY, I'M NOT, GOD, I CAN'T CREATE LIGHT WHERE I CAN'T PUT A LIGHT POLE.

SO WE HAVE A MINOR ISSUE THAT WE'VE GOTTA RESOLVE WITH STAFF, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY RESOLVABLE.

I REMEMBER LIKE THE MAYORS TALKING ABOUT THE, THE INITIAL DISCUSSIONS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT WERE THAT THE CITIZENS THAT LIVE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS WOULD PREFER TO HAVE THE MASONRY ON THE BUILDING SO THAT IT, IT BEAUTIFIES THE AREA.

UH, I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT, BUT I THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT THE MAYOR'S REQUESTING AT THIS POINT COULD.

IS THAT A POSSIBILITY? CAN THAT BE DONE? I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE THAT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP OR TALKED ABOUT IN MY PRESENCE, SO I CAN'T GIVE AN ANSWER TO THAT.

I'M NOT THE ARCHITECT.

I MEAN, I, I KNOW WE'VE HAD NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS, UH, AT COUNCIL MEETING IN THE PAST.

SO Y'ALL, Y'ALL DO REMEMBER THAT .

SO WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS ON THIS? SORRY, I WAS, I WAS LOOKING AT, TRYING TO LOOK AT MY FILE.

SO LET ME GET BACK TO THE AGENDA.

SORRY.

LET'S SEE.

SORRY, GIMME JUST A MINUTE.

OH, GO AHEAD.

WE'RE AT 12, WHICH IS A STOP PLAN.

I MEAN, THE PLAT IS NEXT.

PLAT IS SUBJECT TO YES, THE SHOP CLOCK.

AND WE HAVE TO APPROVE THE SITE PLAN BEFORE WE CAN APPROVE THE SHOP CLOCK.

SO I THINK WE JUST NEED TO, I MEAN, I'M NOT GONNA SECOND GUESS WHAT, EVERYONE IS ALREADY CONFIRMED.

THE, THE WAY THE, THE ORDINANCE READS IS THE OWNER WILL INCORPORATE BRICKER STONE ON AT LEAST 25% OF THE FRONT FACADE ON BUILDINGS WITHIN 50 FEET OF RED FERN BUILDINGS.

NOT WITHIN THE 50 FEET.

MAY BE CONSTRUCTED WITH METAL FACADE WITH HEIGHTS OF 16 TO 18 FEET.

AND LET'S SEE, YOU KNOW, OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD, WHICH OF THESE ELEVATIONS WOULD FALL RIGHT WITHIN AND BECAUSE WE DID HAVE THE PROJECT ARCHITECT, ARCHITECT STATE THAT THE ELEVATIONS DID MEET THE PD REQUIREMENTS, UM, THAT WOULD BE SIDE NUMBER THREE.

WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO A SITE PLAN THAT SHOWS THE BUILDING NUMBERS MIDDLE.

SO IT'S BUILDING A AND FI WAS TRYING TO FIND THAT.

SO THESE WOULD BE THE ONES THAT WOULD BE BACK FROM THE STREET BECAUSE THERE'S NO MASONRY ON THEM.

AND THEN IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT ONE, THESE WOULD BE THE ONES THAT HAVE THE MASONRY.

[00:40:01]

SO THESE WOULD BE THE, THE TWO BUILDINGS THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THE STREET WITHIN THE 50 FOOT SETBACK.

50 FOOT, OKAY.

SO THAT'S THE WESTERN MOST BUILDING AND THEN THE SOUTHEASTERN MOST BUILDING.

CORRECT.

THAT'S HOW I READ IT.

NO, IT WASN'T CRAZY THOUGH.

I REMEMBER HAVING THAT CONVERSATION.

, I SAID I'M JUST THE CIVIL ENGINEER.

I DON'T KEEP TRACK OF THE .

AND WE COULD THAT ADD, ADD THAT AS A CONDITION THAT, UM, AS I DID MENTION, WE DID CHECK WITH THE ENGINEER AND THE PROJECT ARCHITECT, UM, AND EVEN THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT TO VERIFY THAT THE SITE DID MEET THE PD REQUIREMENTS AND ALL OF THEM STATED THAT IT, IT DID MEET.

UM, BUT WE COULD MAKE THAT A CONDITION THAT THE, UM, ELEVATIONS BE VERIFIED WITH THE PERCENTAGES AND THE WHERE THEY ARE IN PROXIMITY.

RED FERN.

CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE LANDSCAPE PLAN? SO I THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THERE TO ADD SOME ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING THAT WOULD SCREEN THE BUILDINGS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO, UM, AND BRING IT INTO CONFORMITY WITH THE LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE.

SO DO, ARE YOU REFERRING TO MAYBE SOME SHRUBBERY ALONG THE, THE SOUTH ELEVATIONS OF THE PROPERTIES ALONG REDFERN? I THINK YOU CAN STRUCTURE TREES INTO LARGE AND SMALL UNDERSTORY TREES TO SCREAM THE BUILDINGS FROM THE ROAD.

THAT WOULD PICK UP YOUR ENOUGH TREES THAT WOULDN'T MEET THE LANDSCAPE REQUIRE? WELL, THE, THE VARIANCE FOR THE TREES IS AROUND THE DETENTION AREA.

IT'S AR AROUND THE PERIMETER AS WELL AS THE BASIN AREA.

AND UM, WE CAN CERTAINLY ASK THE APPLICANT ABOUT ADDING ADDITIONAL TREES.

THE PD IS SPECIFIC THAT 16 ARE REQUIRED ALONG RED FERN AND NO ORNAMENTAL TREES ARE REQUIRED.

SHRUBS ARE REQUIRED.

WHERE PARKING FRONTS REDFERN ROAD.

WOULD YOU BE ABLE COUNT 16? I WAS GONNA SAY I COUNT 16 ALONG RED FERN AND CLOSER TO 18 IF YOU COUNT THE ONES THAT ARE VISIBLE.

YOU MENTIONED THE SIX SPECIFICALLY RIGHT UP AGAINST THE TWO BUILDINGS THAT THE SAME TWO BUILDINGS WITH THE MASONRY.

THERE'S A LITTLE POCKET HERE THAT WE, YEAH, IT'S IN AN EASEMENT.

I CAN'T, ADAM.

ONE OF THE FEW THINGS I CANNOT DO.

WE CAN'T, IT'S TIGHT SIGHT.

IT IS.

WE GET INTO SPLITTING HAIRS.

AND WHAT'S A TREE AND WHAT'S A SHRUB? UM, CREPE MYRTLE IS CONSIDERED A SHRUB, BUT IT'S A, YOU CAN DO VARIOUS SIZES OF CREPE MYRTLES TO HELP SCREEN THE BUILDING.

EITHER WATER OR SEWER OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE A ROW, A HEDGE ROW ALONG THE SOUTHERN FACADE OF THE BUILDING ON THE LEFT AND ON THE RIGHT ADJACENT TO RED FERN.

NOT JUST ALONG THOSE TWO BUILDINGS.

BUT I THINK YOU NEED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE REST OF THE, THE SIGHT LINES TO THE REST OF THE BUILDINGS TOO.

THE BACK BUILDINGS HAVE NO MASON, SO IT'S JUST A METAL BUILDING THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ACROSS FROM IT HAS TO LOOK AT.

SO THE MORE WE CAN BREAK THAT VISUAL UP, THE BETTER OFF WHEEL IF THEY HAVE TO LOOK THROUGH EVERYTHING.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING.

THAT'S TO GET THERE TO THE ONES AT THE BACK, YOU CAN'T GET THERE.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING IS BREAK IT UP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

I AM NOT A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND I WILL SAY THAT THE ISLANDS THAT DO NOT HAVE TREES WITH I THINK ONE EXCEPTION HAVE UTILITIES IN THEM,

[00:45:01]

SO I COULD POSSIBLY MOVE THOSE AROUND, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WOULD NOT LIKE IT WHEN WE PUT UTILITIES OR METERS UNDER PAVING.

IT'S JUST NOT A GOOD IDEA.

THEY'RE BETTER OFF IN GRASS.

UM, I AM VERY CONSTRAINED BY EASEMENTS ON THIS SITE.

, I COULD ADD ONE OR TWO MORE TREES, BUT THEY WOULDN'T BE ALONG THE FRONT.

I'M STILL NOT CONVINCED YOU HAVE PARKING ON THIS SITE.

HELEN, DOESN'T THE LANDSCAPE PLAN HAVE THE TYPE OF TREES CALLED OUT? YES.

DO YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE IT WITH YOU THAT CHUCK CAN HEAR WHAT THOSE ARE? LET'S PULL THAT UP.

BASED ON THE DRAWING, THEY THEY LOOK LIKE PRETTY BIG CANOPIES, BUT RIGHT.

THEY ARE THE THE SMALLER TREES ARE WHAT WOULD BE A CRATE MYRTLE, LIKE IN THE, THE LANDSCAPE ISLANDS.

THE LARGER TREES ARE, ARE ALL AROUND THE DETENTION AREA AS WELL AS ALONG REDFERN.

IS IT AT THE VERY END? I THINK IT'S THE VERY END.

SHE'S THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT.

MAYBE NOT BACK UP.

YEAH, I WENT TO THE END.

OR IS IT ON JUST THE BOTTOM PAGE ONE.

THERE'S THE, WHAT? IT'S LIKE 14 WHAT? CEDAR ELM.

65 GALLON CEDAR ELMS 8 55 GALLON PAGE ONE AT THE VERY WHO'S, WHO'S SCROLLING? IS THAT SHANE AT, SHE'S DRIVING.

YEAH, THERE WE GO.

SO ALL OF THOSE LARGE TREES ARE 30 YEARS AWAY FROM MATURITY.

BEING LARGE ENOUGH TO SCREEN.

DID THESE THERE CONFORM TO OUR REQUIREMENTS? YES, THEY DO.

I MOVE TO APPROVE THE REDFERN EDITION SITE PLAN SUBJECT TO THE TWO CONDITIONS AS PRESENTED AS WELL AS A CONDITION THAT THE ELEVATIONS BE VERIFIED TO CONFORM WITH THE PD AND TO CONFIRM THAT PARKING BE ALLOWED OVER THAT EASEMENT.

ALL SET.

MOTION BY AARON SECOND.

MY CHUCK.

AT THEIR MEETING AND YOUR OPTIONS ARE TO APPROVE IT, APPROVE IT WITH CONDITIONS, OR, UM, DENY THE PRELIMINARY PLAT.

ALL RIGHT, ITEM 13.

UH, CONSIDER AN ACT ON A PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION FOR THE REDFERN EDITION.

OKAY, THIS NEXT ONE IS THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR, UH, THE SAME PROPERTY.

IT GOES HAND IN HAND.

THE CITY ENGINEER HAS REVIEWED THE PRELIMINARY PLAT AS WELL AS ALL OF THE SITE PLAN, CIVIL PACKAGE DRAWINGS AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.

AND, UM, PLANNING HAD ONE CONDITION THAT THE SITE PLAN BE APPROVED, UM, SO THAT THIS COULD BE APPROVED.

SO YOU HAVE SATISFIED THAT CONDITION.

UH, THE PNZ RECOMMENDED THIS ITEM UNANIMOUSLY

[00:50:01]

I MOVE TO APPROVE THE RED FIRE IN ADDITION OF PRELIMINARY PLAT AS PRESENTED AND THEN MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.

SURE.

PENDING THE SAME CONDITIONS AS THE PREVIOUS.

OH, YES SIR.

PENDING, YEAH, WITH THE PENDING THE SAME CONDITIONS AS THE PREVIOUS.

I'LL SECOND.

MOTION MY READY? SECOND MY CHUCK.

ALL IN FAVOR? PASS FORWARD TO ZERO.

UH, THE DRYER'S DESIGNED WITH DRYING BINS, PROPANE BURNERS, AND CENTRALIZED CONTROL REPRESENTS THE MID 20TH CENTURY AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRIALIZATION.

ITEM 16, CONSIDERATION AND ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025.

BUDGET MAYOR COUNSEL, THIS IS THE AMENDMENT TO THE 2025 BUDGET.

UH, THIS FIRST SLIDE IS A SUMMARY OF THE CHANGES.

SO THE FIRST COLUMN IS THE CURRENT BUDGET, THE MIDDLE ONE IS THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT, AND THE THIRD COLUMN IS THE AMENDED BUDGET.

SO IF WE LOOK AT THE AMENDED, I MEAN THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT, UH, I'VE BROKEN OUT THE AMENDMENT INTO THE GENERAL FUND, THE WATER SEWER FUND, MDD, AND THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND.

SO WE START WITH THE GENERAL FUND.

UH, THE AMENDMENT PROPOSES AN INCREASE TO REVENUE OF 460,000 AND AN INCREASE TO EXPENSE OF 315,000 RESULTING IN AN INCREASE IN THE SURPLUS, UH, OF 144,000 IN THE SEWER, UH, WATER SEWER FUND.

WE'RE PROPOSING, UH, ADDITIONAL EXPENSES OF 58,000.

UH, BY THE WAY, I, THE NEXT SLIDE, I, I KIND OF BREAK OUT WHAT THESE ARE, SO WE CAN GO THROUGH SOME OF THOSE.

UH, WITH THE MDD, AN INCREASE OF EXPENSE OF 97,000 AND THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND, UH, INCREASE OF 2,080,000.

SO IF WE START WITH THE CHANGE IN THE GENERAL FUND REVENUE, UH, RECALL IT WAS $460,000.

IT'S BROKEN OUT AS SHOWN THERE.

THE BIGGEST ITEMS, UH, WE DID RECEIVE A LUMP SUM PAYMENT FROM, UH, DENTON COUNTY FIRE, UH, WHICH EXCEEDED THE, THE BUDGET THAT WE HAD SET UP BY $300,000.

UH, WE ALSO RECEIVED A DONATION FROM FIREHOUSE SUBS OF 33,000, AND WE HAD SOME UNBUDGETED STREET INSPECTION FEES THAT WE EARNED AT, UH, ONE OF THE DEVELOPMENTS IN PROCESS OF HUNDRED 50,000.

AND THEN TWO ITEMS THAT WERE TAKING OFF.

UH, YOU CAN SEE THE CROSSROADS LIBRARY DONATION AND THE VILLE EMS. THAT WAS A DUPLICATE IN THE ORIGINAL BUDGET THAT WE'RE CORRECTING IN THIS ONE.

THE NET OF THOSE IS 460,000 INCREASE IN REVENUE.

UM, THE INCREASE IN EXPENSE.

WE DID HAVE, UM, A, A BUDGETING ERROR IN UTILITIES.

WE HAD BUDGETED THE PRIOR YEAR BUDGET INSTEAD OF WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE THE BUDGET FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.

SO WE'RE ADJUSTING FOR IT.

UH, YOU'LL SEE THAT SAME ERROR IN THE NEXT ITEM IN, IN WATER AND SEWER.

THAT 58,000 IS THE, UH, SAME, UH, ISSUE.

WE'RE CORRECTING BOTH OF THOSE.

UH, AND RECALL THAT, UH, THIS LARGE ITEM, THE SAFER CONTINGENCY I CALL IT, WHEN WE HAD DONE THE ORIGINAL BUDGET, WE WERE EXPECTING, HOPING FOR A SAFER GRANT.

UH, BUT WE DID PUT IN PLACE A CONTINGENCY THAT IN THE EVENT THAT WE DID NOT GET IT, WE WOULD STAGGER THE HIRING AND MOVE THE, THE NON-PERSONNEL EXPENSES INTO THE MAIN FIRE BUDGET.

SO THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING HERE.

I'M ADDING THE 405,000.

THESE ARE ALL NON, UH, PEOPLE COSTS, UH, SUPPLIES, EQUIPMENT, ET CETERA.

AND TRAINING.

THERE'S SOME TRAINING IN THERE ALSO.

UH, WE ALSO ADDED, UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT ORDINANCE REIFICATION, UH, EXPENSE OF ABOUT $20,000 WE'VE ADDED THERE.

AND THEN THERE'S A LOT OF PLUSES AND MINUSES IN THE REST OF THE BUDGET THAT NET OUT TO A REDUCTION OF 135,000.

SO THE OVERALL NET INCREASE IN EXPENSES IS 315,000.

NEXT ITEM WAS THE WATER SEWER FUND.

UH, I TALKED ABOUT IT.

THE, UH, UTILITY BUDGET WE'RE INCREASING THAT BY 58,000.

UH, MDD HAD SOME CARRYOVER FROM PRIOR YEAR THAT WE DIDN'T CAPTURE IN THE INITIAL AMENDMENT, UH, INCLUDING THE, THE MURAL, THE VIDEO, UH, THE FARMER'S MARKET, UH, THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

AND THEY'RE ALSO LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY BORROWING FUNDS.

UH, AND THEY, THEY WOULD, UH, ENGAGE

[00:55:01]

A BOND CONSULTANT.

AND THEY ALSO HAD SOME EXPENSES, UH, RELATED TO CATALYST.

SO THOSE, THOSE TOTAL 97,000.

THE LAST ITEM, THE CAPITAL PROJECT FUND.

UH, WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE PEANUT DRYER.

THAT COST WAS 160,000.

THE DIFFERENCE TO GET IT TO TWO 10 IS CLEANUP AND FENCING AND SAFETY AND SECURITY ITEMS. UH, WE HAVE, WE'VE HAD ON OUR RADAR FOR A WHILE, AN UPGRADE TO THE INCODE SYSTEM, WHICH IS OUR ERP SYSTEM USED BY THE CITY.

UH, WE KNEW IT WAS COMING, WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW THE TIMING OF IT.

UH, WE HAVE NOW ENGAGED WITH THEM.

THEY ARE STARTING THAT PROCESS.

UH, WE MAY OR MAY NOT INCUR ALL 51,000, UH, THIS YEAR, BUT, UH, WE'VE PUT THE, UH, THE ENTIRE AMOUNT IN THE BUDGET THEY TAKE, THEY ESTIMATE IT TAKES A YEAR TO DO THE UPGRADES.

SO, UH, THE EXPENSES WILL BE SPREAD ACROSS THAT YEAR.

BUT, UH, WE'RE GONNA BE CONSERVATIVE AND PUT ALL THE EXPENSES HERE.

UM, WE ALSO HAD SOME CARRY OVER THE, UH, THE NEW COUNCIL CHAMBER AND THE RENOVATION OF THE ONE THAT WE VACATED AT CITY HALL.

ALSO FIRE STATION NUMBER ONE.

THEY WERE DOING SOME RENOVATION WORK THERE THAT CARRIED OVER, UH, INTO THIS YEAR.

UH, WE ALSO, UH, ADDED OPTICON FOR THE INTERSECTIONS, UH, IN ANOTHER, UH, ITEM THAT I MISSED.

THE, UH, CAPITAL LEASE OF THE 2018 FIRE TRUCK.

UH, WE'VE BEEN MAKING THOSE PAYMENTS FOR YEARS.

UH, WE DID NOT HAVE THAT IN THE BUDGET, SO I'M ADDING IT, UH, HERE.

AND THEN VARIOUS PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS THAT WE HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO EXECUTE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

UH, I'VE ADDED A MILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS FOR THOSE, UH, TOTALING THE, UH, 2,000,080.

SO THAT'S THE EXTENT OF THE AMENDMENT.

THE, UH, THERE ARE, LIKE I SAY, A LOT OF PLUSES AND MINUSES.

I'M CLEANING UP WHERE I CAN, UM, BUT IT IS NOT, UH, WILL NOT AFFECT THE OVERALL, UH, PLUSES AND MINUSES ON THE SURPLUSES.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? NO.

I MOVE TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024.

SECOND BY CHUCK ON FAVOR PASSES FOUR TO ZERO.

ALRIGHT, ITEM 17, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING.

CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING AN APPLICATION FROM THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER TO DESIGNATE THE PEANUT DRYER AS AN INDIVIDUAL HISTORIC LANDMARK.

WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6 57.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNSEL.

UH, THIS ITEM, WE ARE SEEKING TO HAVE THE AUBREY PEANUT DRYER CLASSIFIED AS AN INDIVIDUAL HISTORIC LANDMARK.

UH, CHAPTER 16, SECTION 16.0 3.00.

ONE OF THE CITY'S CODE OF ORDINANCES IDENTIFIES SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR DESIGNATION, INCLUDING THAT THE ITEM, UM, MUST BE AT LEAST 50 YEARS OLD.

ONE OF THE OTHER ITEMS IS ITS SIGNIFICANCE IN HISTORY, CULTURE, UM, ARCHITECTURE AND ARCHEOLOGY.

WE, WE CHECKED THAT BOX.

UM, THE CHOICE PRODUCTS BUILT THE DRYER.

IN 1966, THE OPERATION, UH, STARTED IN THE FALL NEARBY.

PEANUT GROWERS BROUGHT PEANUTS TO THE FACILITY AFTER THE PEANUTS WERE DRIED.

UH, THEY WERE SHIPPED TO COMANCHE, TEXAS FOR SHELLING.

THE DRYER WAS A STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY.

THE DRYER REVOLUTIONIZED THE PEANUT GROWING INDUSTRY IN AUBREY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

THE DRYER IS SIGNIFICANT FOR ITS ROLE IN REVOLUTIONIZING PEANUT AGRICULTURE.

IT HIGHLIGHTS ADVANCEMENTS IN AGRICULTURE TECHNOLOGY AND SHOWCASES THE ELE EVOLUTION OF LOCAL FARMING.

THE SECOND, UH, CRITERIA IS ASSOCIATION WITH EVENTS SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION AND IMPACT.

AFTER THE GREAT DEPRESSION, THE COTTON FARMING ENDED AND THE SANDY LOAM SOILS AND AUBREY ALLOWED FOR THE PEANUT FARMING.

IN 1921, WILLIAM EVERETT SMOTHER SMOTHERMAN AND WILLIAM CALVIN REDFERN WERE AMONG THE FIRST TO CULTIVATE PEANUTS IN THE AUBREY REGION.

THE THIRD CRITERIA IS REPRESENTATION.

WORK OF A MASTER DESIGNER, BUILDER, OR CRAFTSMAN.

THE DRYER WAS BUILT TO PROCESS 420,000 POUNDS OF PEANUTS PER DAY.

IT WAS A ONE MAN OPERATION WITH A CENTRAL CONTROL ROOM FROM THE CONTROL ROOM.

THE OPERATOR COULD UNLOAD THE TRUCKS, DRY THE PEANUTS, AND THEN LOAD THE DRIED, UH, PEANUTS ONTO THE RAIL CARS DURING THE PERIOD.

THE DRYER WAS THE MOST MODERN DRYING PLANT IN THE WORLD.

UH, THE FOURTH CRITERIA EMBODIES DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS TYPE PERIOD METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION.

[01:00:01]

AND LASTLY, REPRESENTS ESTABLISHED AND FAMILIAR VISUAL FEATURES OF AUBREY.

THE AUBREY PEANUT DRYER REMAINS A RECOGNIZABLE AND SYMBOLIC STRUCTURE IN THE COMMUNITY.

IT EMBODIES THE CITY'S AGRICULTURAL HERITAGE AND FOSTERS A STRONG CONNECTION TO ITS PAST.

TODAY.

IT'S TANGIBLE REMINDER OF AUBREY'S RURAL ROOTS AND A CHERISHED LANDMARK THAT FOSTERS A DEEP CONNECTION TO THE PAST.

THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION, UH, MET ON MARCH 25TH, 2025 TO DISCUSS THE INDIVIDUAL LANDMARK, UH, DESIGNATION APPLICATION.

AND THE COMMISSION VOTED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL, UM, OF THE DESIGNATION TO COUNCIL.

THE CITY COUNCIL MAY.

UM, THIS IS THE ACTION FOR TONIGHT.

YOU MAY APPROVE THE LANDMARK DESIGNATION.

UM, YOU CAN POSTPONE, UH, FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR YOU CAN DENY THE APPLICATION AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE LANDMARK DESIGNATION.

AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER AS MANY QUESTIONS AS I CAN.

I LIKE THAT PICTURE.

IT LOOKS AWESOME.

YOU LIKE IT? OH, ABSOLUTELY.

UM, I THINK IT'S AWESOME.

UH, I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS TO PROTECT THAT THING AND IT TOOK US A WHILE TO ACQUIRE IT.

SO THIS IS, I THINK, THE FINAL STEP TO PROTECT IT.

AGREE.

IT IS NOW.

I BOTH, SO YES, I MOVE TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION.

WE GOTTA CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SORRY.

JUMPING TO GO .

NO OTHER QUESTIONS.

WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7 0 1.

ALL RIGHT, RANDY, IT'S ON YOU ALL.

I MOVE TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION DESIGNATING THE PEANUT DRYER AS AN INDIVIDUAL HISTORIC LANDMARK.

SECOND, MR. BY RANDY.

SECOND BY JEFF.

ALRIGHT, ADAM 18, CONSIDERATION ON ACTION ON APPOINTING ALTERNATE MEMBERS TO THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION.

HERE I MOVE TO APPROVE.

CHRIS MURRAY IS AN ALTERNATE MEMBER TO THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION.

I'LL SECOND MOTION MY JEFF, SECOND MY CHUCK.

AND THE ROOF IS BEGINNING TO GO ON.

ALRIGHT,

[Department Updates and Discussion]

DEPARTMENT UPDATES.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR.

MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, UH, THAT UPDATES ON FIRE STATION, UH, TWO AND THREE TONIGHT.

FIRE STATION NUMBER THREE IS DOWN TO THE FRUSTRATING PART.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE ON THE ONE YARD LINE AND THAT'S THE, APPARENTLY THE HARDEST YARD TO COMPLAIN ACROSS.

UH, SO NEARLY EVERYTHING'S COMPLETE.

UH, WE'RE WRAPPING UP JUST A FEW THINGS.

UH, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF DELAYS IN PLACE RIGHT NOW.

UH, MUSTANG WON'T RELEASE OUR WATER METERS UNTIL THERE'S A, A MANHOLE, UH, THAT NEEDED TO BE RAISED UNTIL THAT'S COMPLETED.

SO UNTIL THAT CAN BE COMPLETED AND INSPECTED, THEY WON'T RELEASE OUR WATER METERS TO THE SITE.

AND SO THE LANDSCAPING CAN'T, THE SOD CAN'T BE PUT IN BECAUSE WE CAN'T ENSURE THAT WE CAN WATER IT.

UH, WE CAN'T TEST ANY OF THE PLUMBING IN THE BUILDING.

SO THAT'S GOT US WITH A, A SETBACK.

UM, WE ARE MAKING SOME CHANGES TO THE FLOOR IN THE, THE BAY AREA.

THE STAIN IS ALREADY STARTING TO HAVE SOME ISSUES.

SO BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER WITH THAT, WE'RE GONNA CORRECT THAT.

UH, BUT WE STILL ANTICIPATE STARTING THE, UH, PUNCH LIST WALKTHROUGH NEXT WEEK.

AND WE LOOK TO BE IN THE BUILDING IN LATE MAY, EARLY JUNE.

UH, WE'VE GOT FURNITURE COMING MID-MAY.

UH, A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WERE ORDERED TO JUST OPEN, NOT NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION, BUT FOR US TO LIVE THERE OR ON THEIR WAY.

SO, UH, ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO STOP BY IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE.

UH, IT'S REALLY COMING ALONG.

EVERYBODY'S REALLY EXCITED, UH, TO GET IN THERE.

SO IT'S MOVING ALONG.

STATION TWO IS, UH, RUNNING FULL SPEED.

SO THEY'VE REALLY MADE SOME GREAT PROGRESS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

AND THE RETAINING WALL IS COMPLETE.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT ALL OF US WERE KIND OF HOLDING OUR BREATH ON.

OUR RETAINING WALL IS KIND OF BELOW AND BEHIND THE WALL THAT SEPARATES US FROM THE HOMES ON ASLAN CIRCLE.

AND WE NEEDED THAT TO PROVIDE SUPPORT SO THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY EROSION PROBLEMS UNDERNEATH THAT OTHER FENCE.

AND SO NOW THAT THAT'S COMPLETE, UH, THAT'S A, A BIG STEP THAT WAS HOLDING US UP FOR THE POURING OF THE PARKING AREAS.

SO, UH, IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS YOU'LL SEE CONCRETE PORES TO CREATE THOSE, UH, PARKING AREAS.

THERE'S ONE TO THE EAST AND TO THE WEST OF THE BUILDING.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THE APRONS IN THE FRONT

[01:05:01]

SO NEXT WEEK THEY'LL START TO, UH, OR THEY NOT START, THEY'LL FINISH UP THE ROOF AND THE BUILDING WILL BE IN THE DRY, UH, PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL ROUGH IN ON THE FIRST FLOOR IS COMPLETE.

SO EVERYTHING IN WALL AND UNDERGROUND IS DONE.

UH, AND THEN THEY'RE, THEY'RE NEARING THAT POINT.

ON THE UPSTAIRS, UH, THE FRAMERS WERE THERE TODAY, UH, WORKING UPSTAIRS FOR A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THE RAIN.

UH, PUSHED THEM AWAY.

I GUESS YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT UP METAL AND LIGHTNING.

SO, UH, , WE'LL GIVE 'EM A PASS ON THAT ONE.

UH, BUT A LOT OF MOVEMENT THERE AND IT'S REALLY COMING ALONG.

IF YOU'VE DRIVEN BY THAT ONE, IT'S, IT'S STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE AND YOU CAN KIND OF GET A FEEL FOR THE LAYOUT NOW.

SO BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

ALRIGHT, THANKS.

THANKS SHAPER.

YEAH, THIS WILL BE MY LAST PUBLIC WORKS UPDATE.

UH, MR. DEAN RYT WILL BE GIVING UPDATES STARTING NEXT MONTH.

SO, , UM, MAJOR M UM, MILESTONE FOR THE WASTEWATER PLANT.

UH, THIS LAST WEEK THEY POURED THE ATION BASIN.

YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN A FACEBOOK POST.

THERE WAS ABOUT 82 TRUCKLOADS OF CONCRETE.

THEY STARTED AT 2:00 AM AND I THINK THEY FINISHED UP AROUND NOON.

UM, ALSO, UM, THEY BEGAN THE EXCAVATION OF THE UV CHANNEL.

THAT'S THE DISINFECTION, UH, PROCESS OF THE WASTEWATER.

AND THEN, UM, EXCAVATING AND SUBGRADE PREP ON THE STORAGE TANK.

UM, SO THEY'RE MAKING A REALLY GOOD HEADWAY.

WE'RE ON TARGET.

THINGS ARE GOING GREAT.

UM, AND I'M SURE DEAN WILL HAVE A LOT MORE DETAILS FOR YOU NEXT MONTH.

, , UM, ANYTHING ELSE IN PUBLIC WORKS I CAN GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON.

WE'RE MOVING FORWARD ON THE WATER.

WELL, UH, THEY'RE GETTING TREES CLEARED, MEETING THE NEIGHBORS.
