TO THRIVE THIS 27TH TODAY OF AUGUST, 2026.GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL AS THE AUBREY PD CRIME VICTIM ADVOCATE.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TODAY.
AS WE RECOGNIZE SEPTEMBER AS SUICIDE PREVENTION AWARENESS MONTH, WHICH IS SYMBOLIZED BY A PURPLE AND TWO RIBBON, LIKE THE ONE THAT I'M WEARING RIGHT NOW.
SUICIDE PREVENTION IS ABOUT MORE THAN RESPONDING.
WHEN A CRISIS OCCURS, IT MEANS BUILDING A COMMUNITY IN WHICH PEOPLE FEEL SEEN AND SUPPORTED.
SEEKING HELP IS ENCOURAGED AND INDIVIDUALS ARE PREPARED AND EQUIPPED TO STEP IN WHEN SOMEONE MAY BE STRUGGLING.
THROUGH OUR MENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS AND CRIME VICTIM ADVOCACY, THE AUBREY POLICE DEPARTMENT STRIVES TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN CRISIS RESPONSE AND RESOURCES.
OUR MENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS RECEIVE SPECIALIZED TRAINING TO RECOGNIZE AND RESPOND TO MENTAL HEALTH CRISES, DEESCALATE SITUATIONS, AND CONNECT INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WITH APPROPRIATE RESOURCES.
THEY'RE OFTEN CALLED UPON DURING SOME OF THE MOST DIFFICULT MOMENTS A PERSON CAN EXPERIENCE.
THEIR WORK IS ABOUT MORE THAN RESPONDING TO A CALL.
IT'S ABOUT LISTENING, BUILDING TRUST, CREATING SAFETY, AND HELPING SOMEONE FIND A PATH FORWARD.
AND IMPORTANTLY, OUR OFFICERS DON'T DO THIS WORK ALONE.
ACROSS NORTH TEXAS, WE HAVE DEDICATED ORGANIZATIONS WORKING ALONGSIDE OUR OFFICERS TO PREVENT SUICIDE AND PRO SUPPORT PEOPLE IN CRISIS SUCH AS MY HEALTH, MY RESOURCES, OR MHMR OF DENTON COUNTY 9 8 8, SUICIDE AND CRISIS LIFELINE, AND THE LOCAL OUTREACH TO SUICIDE SURVIVORS OR LOST TEAM.
THESE AGENCIES PROVIDE A CRITICAL NETWORK OF SERVICES, INCLUDING 24 HOUR CRISIS RESPONSE AND RESOURCES TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN CRISIS.
THEIR SUPPORT DOES NOT STOP WHENEVER THE CRISIS ENDS.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF SUICIDE PREVENTION BECAUSE PREVENTION IS ALSO ABOUT SUPPORTING SURVIVORS WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND THESE RESOURCES REDUCE ISOLATION AND MAKE SURE THAT GRIEF DOES NOT HAVE TO BE CARRIED ALONE.
AS WE RECOGNIZE SUICIDE PREVENTION AWARENESS MONTH, LET US RECOGNIZE THE PROFESSIONALS, NAMELY OUR MENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS FOR THEIR TRAINING, COMPASSION AND COMMITMENT TO HELPING PEOPLE THROUGH THE DARKEST MOMENTS OF THEIR LIVES.
LET US SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS LIKE MHMR AND PROVIDE THAT, PROVIDE CARE DURING AND AFTER, BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER A CRISIS.
AND LET US REMEMBER THE FAMILIES AND SURVIVORS WHO CONTINUE TO CARRY THE IMPACT OF SUICIDE LONG AFTER THE EMERGENCY IS OVER.
ULTIMATELY, IT IS IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT ASKING FOR HELP IS A SIGN OF STRENGTH, NOT WEAKNESS.
THESE RESOURCES ONLY WORK IF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THEM, AND WE FOSTER A COMMUNITY WHERE IT IS OKAY TO ASK FOR HELP.
SUICIDE PREVENTION IS EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY.
ONE PERSON REACHING OUT MATTERS.
SHOWING UP AT THE RIGHT MOMENT MATTERS, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, HOPE MATTERS.
THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING SUICIDE PREVENTION AWARENESS MONTH AND FOR SUPPORTING THE PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS WORKING EVERY DAY TO BRING HOPE, HELP, AND HEALING TO OUR COMMUNITY.
WITH THAT, UM, THE CITY OF OP RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF PROMOTING AWARENESS DURING NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH IN SEPTEMBER, ENCOURAGING EDUCATION ON ACCESS TO LOCAL AND NATIONAL PREVENTION RESOURCES, AND SUPPORTING EFFORTS TO CONNECT INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES WITH APPROPRIATE CARE AND SERVICES, INCLUDING THROUGH THE NET, THROUGH THE WORK OF TRAINED MENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS WITHIN THE AUBREY POLICE DEPARTMENT.
AND IN 2024, TEXAS RECORDED 4,490 DEATHS BY SUICIDE, REPRESENTING AN AVERAGE OF APPROXIMATELY ONE SUICIDE DEATH EVERY THREE HOURS.
SUICIDE WAS ALSO THE 10TH LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES, ACCORDING TO THE CENTER OF DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, AND THE THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG INDIVIDUALS AGED 15 THROUGH 29 WORLDWIDE.
ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION AND THE NEED FOR COMPREHENSIVE COORDINATED MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE PREVENTION SERVICES AND EDUCATION OF RESOURCES FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY IS A CRITICAL RESPONSIBILITY.
LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND RESOURCES, INCLUDING THE DENTON COUNTY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH LEADERSHIP TEAM, DENTON COUNTY, MY, MY HEALTH, MY RESOURCES CENTER, AND THE SUICIDE AND CRISIS CENTER OF NORTH
[00:10:01]
TEXAS PROVIDE VALUABLE SUPPORT, EDUCATION AND PREVENTION SERVICES TO ADDRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE PREVENTION NEEDS OF CHILDREN, YOUTH, ADULTS AND FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.AND THE 9 8 8 SUICIDE AND CRISIS LIFELINE IS A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION AND RESOURCE THAT OFFERS 24 7 CALL, TEXT, AND CHECK ACCESS TO TRAIN CRISIS COUNSELORS WHO CAN HELP PEOPLE IN SUICIDAL CRISIS OR ANY KIND OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS.
IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS STRUGGLING OR IN PROCESS HELP IS AVAILABLE, CALL OR TEXT NINE EIGHT EIGHT OR CHAT 9 8 8 LIFELINE.ORG TO REACH THE 9 8 8 SUICIDE IN PROCESS LIFELINE.
AND THE AUBREY POLICE DEPARTMENT IS COMMITTED TO SERVING THE COMMUNITY WITH PROFESSIONALISM AND COMPASSION AND RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF THEIR EQUIP IT OFFICERS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NECESSARY, NECESSARY TO APPROPRIATELY RESPOND TO INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING MENTAL HEALTH OR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CHALLENGES.
AND THROUGH ADDITIONAL SPECIALIZED TRAINING, OFFICERS MAY RECEIVE THE CERTIFICATION OF MENTAL HEALTH OFFICER SERVING AS AN IMPORTANT BRIDGE BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS BY CONNECTING INDIVIDUALS IN CRISIS WITH APPROPRIATE COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND HELPING PROMOTE SAFER AND MORE COMPASSIONATE OUTCOMES FOR RESIDENTS IN NEED.
AND RECOGNIZING THE WORK OF OUR ARBERY POLICE DEPARTMENT'S MENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS ALSO HIGHLIGHT THE BROADER COMMITMENT TO THE CITY OF A COMMUNITY THAT MENTAL HEALTH IS TO BE TREATED WITH THE SAME IMPORTANCE, COMPASSION AND RESPECT THAT PHYSICAL HEALTH AND THEREFORE BE RESOLVED.
THAT I, CHRIS RICH MAYOR OF THE CITY OF WATER DO HEREBY PROCLAIM SEPTEMBER 20TH, 2026 AS SUICIDE PREVENTION AWARENESS MONTH.
AND I FOLLOW UPON OUR CITIZENS IN ALL AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS INTERESTED IN HELPING TO PREVENT SUICIDE NOT THIS MONTH.

NOW THE ISSUE AT HAND IS OF THIS ORDINANCE 9 71 DASH 26, THE RIGHT OF WAY, GRAVEL DRIVES, ET CETERA.
AS I'M AN OLD TOWN RESIDENT OF 25 YEARS NOW, I'M HOPING
[00:25:02]
THE COUNCIL WOULD CAREFULLY LOOK AT US IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT RATHER THAN LUMP US TOGETHER WITH THE MAJOR MODERN SUBDIVISIONS BLOSSOMING FASTER THAN THE STICKERS AND THE COPPLE BURGERS.MY HOUSE IS APPROXIMATELY 114 YEARS OLD A WANT TOBE VICTORIAN AND MAIN STREET IS A 90 FOOT WIDE BOULEVARD IS NOW PLATTED.
THAT REALLY DOESN'T LEAVE ME OR MY NEIGHBORS MUCH OF A FRONT YARD.
WHEN AND IF THE CITY EXPANDED TO REACH THE ALREADY PLATTED SUBDIVISION NORTH OF BLACKJACK AND THE TRAFFIC THAT WILL BE GENERATED FROM THE NEW AUBREY ESTATES.
NOT TO MENTION WHAT ELSE MAY BLOSSOM FROM BLACKJACK.
THIS AND HOW MUCH MORE IS POSSIBLE.
PLEASE CONSIDER THE EXPENSE THAT IT WOULD COST OLD TOWN RESIDENTS TO UPGRADE AND COMPLY.
AS I'VE HEARD, WE'VE OFFERED WALMART UPWARDS OF $40 MILLION IN INCENTIVE TAX BREAKS AND WHATEVER TO MOVE IN.
SHOULD NOT THIS GENEROSITY AS IT'S OUR TAX DOLLAR BE EXTENDED TO THE HOMEOWNER, HOMETOWN FOLKS TO HELP THEM COMPLY.
UH, GLENDA WHITSON, YOU WANT NOW OR WAIT TILL ITEM 10? I'LL TALK RIGHT NOW.
I LIVE AT 3 3 0 8 NORTH MAIN STREET.
I WANT TO SAY YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS ABOVE AND BEYOND MOST.
THEY HAVE BEEN RE A TREMENDOUS HELP TO ME DURING THE LOSS OF MY HUSBAND.
I HAVE HIS FLAG AND I WANT TO DEDICATE IT TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
HE SERVED IN VIETNAM AND THAT FLAG IS TO BE FLOWN AND I WANNA SEE IT GO UP.
NOW YOU'RE WANTING TO FLY IT OVER CITY HALL? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? OH NO, POLICE DEPARTMENT.
I DO HAVE COMPLAINTS WITH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT.
UH, THERE'S BEEN A MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE TWO OF US.
ONE OF THEM PARTICULAR AND THE CHIEF HAS HAD TO SHOW UP AT MY HOUSE.
I WILL FIGHT AND I WILL STAND UP FOR THE SENIOR CITIZENS AND FAR OLD TOWN.
HE TOLD ME I HAD TO CUT DOWN MY NEIGHBOR'S TREE.
I DID AND IT'S HER TREE, NOT MINE.
AND I POINTED IT OUT TO HIM AND HE STILL TELLS ME I HAVE TO CUT THE TREE DOWN, BUT THE CHIEF COME IN CALMED IT DOWN.
BUT I'M NOT PUTTING THE TREE DOWN EITHER.
I THINK THAT THERE IS ISSUES IN OLD TOWN.
I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY MONEY BEING SPENT.
WE STILL DON'T HAVE SIDEWALKS.
WE DON'T HAVE ADEQUATE STREET LIGHTING.
IT'S, I MEAN, OUR STREETS ARE GOING DOWN AND THIS, THESE THING TO SAY 2 0 2 EASTPORT STREET, LEANNE WILSON, SIX YEARS.
AND I STILL HAVEN'T GOT THAT DRAINAGE TAKEN CARE OF AND I'M STILL WAITING ON IT.
DON'T TELL ME YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY BECAUSE YOU DO.
IT'S ABOUT 50 YARDS AND IT'S NOT PART OF A NEW DRAINAGE.
IT'S TO FINISH UP AN OLD DRAINAGE PROJECT.
NOW WHAT DID Y'ALL DO? Y'ALL WENT DOWN THERE WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE HOSPITAL DYING ON HIS DEATH BED, TORE UP MY DRIVEWAY.
DIDN'T EVEN GIVE ME A COURTESY CALL.
JUST WENT DOWN THERE AND STARTED TEARING IT UP.
WHY? BECAUSE YOU HAD A WATER PROBLEM.
REALLY? I DON'T CON Y'ALL JUST NEED TO IMPROVE YOUR PUBLIC WORKS AND YOUR CODE ENFORCEMENT.
DENISE, HELLO, MY NAME IS DENISE ANDREWS AND I LIVE AT 400 WEST SPRING STREET IN REY AND I'VE BEEN A RESIDENCE SINCE UH, 2010.
AND I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR NOT GOING HOG WILD ON THE TAX RATE.
AND I'M SURE THAT THE FINANCIAL MAN HAD TO DO A LOT OF THE N******G 'CAUSE ALL THE, UM, DEVELOPMENT.
I LIVE RIGHT DOWN FROM THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND
[00:30:01]
EVERYTHING.BUT I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK.
UM, ELIZABETH, I WANTED, UH, TOPIC WAS UNITED WAY.
DID YOU WANNA SPEAK ON THAT STILL? ALRIGHT, UH, TORY ZUCK.
DO I SPEAK NOW OR WAIT TILL ITEM 10? I'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON
UM, MICHAEL RAY, GOOD AFTERNOON COUNSEL.
I BELIEVE AND I MAY HAVE FALSELY, UM, MICHAEL RAY, UM, 13 85, 18 93 FM 1385.
I MAY HAVE FALSELY THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE HEARING ON THE OPERATION TOMAHAWK TODAY.
UM, IS THAT ON THE, THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA.
ALRIGHT, WELL I GRATEFULLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THEN AND I APPRECIATE YOU.
I WILL SAY ONE THING ON THE CHILD'S GOOD CANCER THING.
MY DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A RARE FORM OF BRAIN CANCER.
MY DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A RARE FORM OF BRAIN CANCER AT TWO AND A HALF YEARS OLD AND, UH, SHE'S NOW GONNA BE 16, COMPLETELY NORMAL.
MADE IT THROUGH THE HONEYMOON PHASE AND, UH, AND SHE'S, UH, DOING GREAT.
SO THERE IS HOPE FOR ALL THAT AND I COMPLETELY EMPATHIZE WITH ANYBODY GOING THROUGH CHUBB.
ALRIGHT, WELL CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT.
THANK YOU MAYOR RICH AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.
I'M HERE TONIGHT REGARDING PROJECT TOMAHAWK.
THE PROJECT MAY BE LOCATED IN PROSPER, BUT AUBREY CITY LIMITS ARE DIRECTLY ACROSS THE ROAD.
SO IT IMPACTS, UH, DON'T NECESSARILY STOP AT THAT JURISDICTIONAL LINE.
PROVINCE FOR PREVIOUSLY TABLED THE PROJECT AND IT RETURNED SEPTEMBER 1ST.
THE DEVELOPER HAS MADE CHANGES IN RESPONSE TO THE COMMUNITY CONCERNS.
I'VE READ THOSE UPDATES AND I APPRECIATE THAT THEY'RE LISTENING.
I'M NOT OPPOSED TO DATA CENTERS OR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
MY CONCERN IS MAKING SURE WE DEVELOP THEM RESPONSIBLY.
NOISE REMAINS ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERNS.
THESE FACILITIES OPERATE 24 HOURS A DAY.
COOLING SYSTEMS FANS, TRANSFORMERS, AND OTHER EQUIPMENT CAN PRODUCE CONTINUOUS NOISE, INCLUDING LOW FREQUENCY NOISE TO PUT 70 DECIBELS INTO PERSPECTIVE.
THAT'S ROUGHLY THE SOUND LEVEL OF A VACUUM CLEANER OR BUSY TRAFFIC.
THE DIFFERENCE IS YOU TURN THE VACUUM CLEANER OFF A DATA.
A DATA CENTER OPERATES 24 HOURS A DAY, INCLUDING AT TWO IN THE MORNING WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE IS QUIET.
I ATTENDED AUBREY CITIZENS UNIVERSITY, SO I UNDERSTAND SOME OF, UH, SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS ON WHAT AUBREY CAN CONTROL, BUT AUBREY RESIDENTS COULD BE AFFECTED BY A DECISION MADE JUST ACROSS THE BOUNDARY.
MY SPECIFIC REQUEST TONIGHT IS THAT AUBREY FORMALLY CONTACT PROSPER BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1ST AND HAS TO BE RECOGNIZED AS AN AFFECTED NEIGHBORING MUNICIPALITY.
I ASK THAT PROSPER SPECIFICALLY EVALUATE NIGHTTIME AND LOW FREQUENCY NOISE IMPACTS ON AUBREY RESIDENTS REQUIRE ENFORCEABLE NOISE MITIGATION AND ADEQUATE SETBACKS.
SHARE THE RELEVANT STUDIES WITH AUBREY AND ALLOW AUBREY AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE FORMAL INPUT.
WE SHOULD ALSO LEARN FROM TOMAHAWK.
HIGH POWER DEVELOPMENTS ARE ALREADY LOOKING AT NORTH TEXAS.
WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHAT WORKS, WHAT DOESN'T, AND GET AHEAD OF DEVELOPMENT HEADING OUR WAY.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT STOPPING DEVELOPMENT, IT'S ABOUT GETTING DEVELOPMENT RIGHT, PROTECTING OUR RESIDENTS, AND HAVING REASONABLE STANDARDS IN PLACE BEFORE THE NEXT PROJECT REACHES OUR DOORSTEP.
BERNADETTE LIKE TO SPEAK NOW OR WAIT TILL I'M IN TOWN NOW.
I JUST WANNA TELL YOU THAT I LOVE AUBREY.
I LOVE THAT THEY WAVE TO ME WHEN I SEE THEM.
I LOVE THE CITIES THAT SUPPORTS THE BUILDING COMMUNITY TOGETHER THROUGH ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES.
I KNOW THAT THE EMPLOYEES WORK FOR THE CITY FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMMUNITY, AND THEY HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS AND WANT OUR TOWN TO BE SAFE, LOOK NICE AND WORK TO THAT END.
BUT SOME THINGS THAT I'M HEARING AND SEEING ARE VERY CONCERNING TO ME.
[00:35:01]
ONE OF THE THINGS I DON'T WANT US TO LIVE IN IS AN HOAI DO NOT LIKE HOAS.THEY ARE NOT GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY.
AND THE REASON IS THAT HOA TENDS TO SPLIT THE COMMUNITY AND PUTS ANIMOSITY BETWEEN THE CITIZENS IN ITSELF.
I DON'T WANT THAT FOR MY TOWN AND MY COMMUNITY AT ALL.
YOU CANNOT SEND SOMEONE OUT TO THE PUBLIC THAT ALL THEY DO IS FIND FAULT WITH THE CITIZENS THROUGH THEIR PROPERTY AND THINK YOU'RE GONNA GET A GOOD RESPONSE.
IT IS NOT LIKE THE NEW DIS NEW AREAS THAT AUBREY IS, IS BRINGING INTO THE TOWN.
WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY, AUBREY PROPER I CALL IT.
BUT THERE ARE SITUATIONS THAT I HAVE BEEN IN WITH THE EMPLOYEES AND THERE INTERACTIONS WITH THEM HAVE BEEN GREAT.
I MEAN, I, I HAVE FOUND GREAT THINGS THAT HAPPEN WITH POLICE OFFICERS.
ONE TIME THEY ACTUALLY TOOK, UH, CAME INTO THE WALKTHROUGH IN THE HEAT OF SUMMER INTO OUR AREA AND GOT US OUT BECAUSE THERE WAS A GAS LEAK AND WE COULD NOT START OUR CARS.
WE NOT, COULD NOT DO ANYTHING, BUT THEY MADE SURE WE GOT OUT.
AND I AM THANKFUL FOR THOSE THINGS.
BUT STILL, THE SITUATION THAT I'VE BEEN HEARING AND THE THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN IN INTERACTIONS LIKE WITH GLENDA, 'CAUSE SHE LIVES DOWN THE STREET FROM ME.
THESE SITUATIONS NEED MERCY AND THEY NEED LOOKED AT AND THEY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.
I KNOW THE CITY HAS A LOT TO DO AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THE, THE THINGS THAT NEED ADDRESSED ARE ACTUALLY THE CITIZENS.
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT PAY TAXES.
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEIR AREA.
SO I ASK FOR YOUR MERCY AND I ASK THAT YOU GET YOUR EMPLOYEES LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY AT THE CITIZENS AND HOW THEY KEEP THEIR AREAS.
AND WHEN YOU GO THROUGH SOMEBODY THAT'S HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A PROPERTY OR, OR RE YOU MIGHT LOOK AT THE RESOURCES THEY HAVE OR WHY THEY CAN'T FIX SOMETHING IN TIME.
I WOULD NOT CONSIDER ASKING ANYONE TO GO OUT IN THIS WEATHER AND FIX ANYTHING IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO.
I UNDERSTAND POLICE AND SOME OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EMERGENCIES THAT THEY NEED TO ADDRESS, BUT FOR LONG-TERM OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW, IT'S REALLY HOT.
SO WHAT I'M ASKING YOU IS TO HAVE SOME COMPASSION AND IT'S NEEDED BY THE CITY FOR THE CITIZENS AND THAT WE MIGHT AS A COMMUNITY, KEEP OUR COMMUNITY THE WAY IT IS.
OUR COMMUNITY, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
[Consent Items]
CONSENT ITEMS, ITEMS PLACED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE IN NATURE AND NON-CONTROVERSIAL.THE CONSENT AGENDA CAN BE ACTED UPON IN ONE MOTION.
ITEMS MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA BY THE REQUEST OF COUNSEL, BOARD MEMBERS OR STAFF CONSIDERATION.
AND ACTION ON ITEMS LISTED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, MAYOR, HONOR, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE REMOVE ITEM 10 FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA.
AND ANY OTHER ITEMS? DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR THE REMAINING ITEMS? MOVE TO APPROVE.
UH, CONSENT AGENDA MINUS ITEM 10.
ORDINANCE NUMBER 9 7 1 DASH 26 AMENDING CHAPTER 12, TRAFFIC AND VEHICLES ARTICLE 12.04, PARKING, STOPPING AND STANDING.
RESTRICTIONS ADOPTING A NEW SECTION, 12.0 4.009.
RESTRICTIONS TO REMOVE MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRUCK FROM CERTAIN PARKING RESTRICTIONS IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD PROVIDING A PENALTY AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNSEL.
UH, THE INTENT OF ORDINANCE 9 7 1 0.26 IS TO CLARIFY PARKING.
UM, AUBREY POLICE DEPARTMENT RECEIVED A COMPLAINT ABOUT, UM, A PARKING SITUATION IN A NEIGHBORHOOD.
AS WE ALWAYS DO, WE REVIEWED THE LAWS.
CURRENTLY OUR ORDINANCE ONLY ALLOWS A RESIDENCE VEHICLE TO BE PARKED IN THE STREET FOR 24 HOUR PERIOD.
AFTER THAT, IT IS IN VIOLATION OF THE ORDINANCE.
IN REVIEWING THAT, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT IF YOU WORKED MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND YOU ON THE WEEKEND PARKED YOUR VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOUR HOME ON THE STREET AT SIX O'CLOCK FRIDAY EVENING AT SIX O'CLOCK SATURDAY EVENING, YOU WOULD BE IN VIOLATION.
IT COULD POTENTIALLY RECEIVE A CITATION FOR PARKING IN THE STREET.
OUR EVALUATION CONSULTATION WITH EVERYONE I TALKED TO IS WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL
[00:40:01]
INTENT OF THIS ORDINANCE.WE TRIED TO RESEARCH BACK TO WHEN THE ORDINANCE WAS DEVELOPED TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AT THE TIME THAT CAUSED THIS, UM, ORDINANCE TO BE ENACTED.
AND WE DID NOT LOCATE ANY INFORMATION.
SO MY, UM, RESOLUTION TO THIS IS THAT WE JUST REMOVE THE WORD VEHICLE AND TRUCK FROM THIS RESPONSIBILITY.
SO YOU CAN PARK A VEHICLE ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE FOR LONGER THAN 24 HOURS.
WE HAVE ADDITIONAL LAWS THAT WOULD ADDRESS, FOR INSTANCE, A INOPERABLE VEHICLE OR A DISMANTLED VEHICLE WOULD BE COVERED IN OTHER LAWS THAT ALREADY EXIST.
SO WE WOULD BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THOSE THINGS.
IF IT'S NOT REGISTERED PROPERLY OR A FLAT TIRE, THOSE CAN BE HANDLED WITH OTHER LAWS AND I FIND NO NEED, UM, FOR THIS ORDINANCE TO COVER MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRUCKS.
NOW, I DO BELIEVE THERE'S A NEED FOR TRAILERS AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE, THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN THE ORDINANCE.
SO MY ASK IS THAT YOU APPROVE THIS ORDINANCE AND REMOVE THESE TWO ITEMS ONLY FROM, UM, THE CURRENT ORDINANCE.
AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT THE, THE INFORMATION THAT'S TRAVELING AROUNDS SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT THE PARKING AND ALL OF THAT STUFF IS NOT ADDRESSED AT ALL IN THIS ORDINANCE.
YOU TALKING ABOUT IN THE GRASS AND ALL THAT STUFF, ALL OF THAT IS NOT BEING COVERED IN THIS ORDINANCE AT ALL OR NEXT TO THE HOUSE? NOT AT ALL.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY KNEW THAT.
'CAUSE I'VE SEEN THE FLYER TOO.
CAN YOU SAY THAT AGAIN BECAUSE I CAN'T HEAR THAT BACK HERE.
CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THE, ABOUT PARKING IN THE, LIKE IN THE GRASS.
THIS ORDINANCE DOES NOT ADDRESS PARKING IN YOUR GRASS AT ALL.
SO WE CAN, NOTHING CHANGES TO CURRENTLY PARKING A VEHICLE IN THE GRASS OR IN THE GRAVEL OR ANY OF THAT.
I NEED YOU TO QUESTIONS IDENTIFY.
I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING EVERYTHING ON FACEBOOK IS NOT TRUE.
SO MY QUESTION IS, IS, IS THAT'S, I THINK, AND I MIGHT BE ABLE TO ADDRESS WHAT SHE'S, UM, THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS WITH OUR PROPERTY.
IF THERE'S, IT'S NOT IN COVERING IN THE STREET.
IT'S NOT EVEN PARTWAY OUT INTO THE STREET.
I HAVE GRASS, I HAVE GRAVEL, I HAVE ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
I HAVE CARS PARKED ON MY PROPERTY.
THAT'S NOT WHAT'S BEING DISCUSSED.
IT'S ALL ABOUT JUST WHAT'S IN THE STREET AND BLOCKING THE GO.
THE WAY OF TRAFFIC IS THAT THE ONLY THING IS CHANGING IS WE'RE REMOVING MOTOR VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC.
I MEAN THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET CLARIFICATION ON.
WE'RE AWARE OF THIS FLYER THAT'S GOING AROUND ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
WE HAVE WORKED FOR TWO DAYS TO TRY TO VERIFY THE INFORMATION IN IT AND, AND IT, THE INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN IS NOT TRUE.
UH, THIS ORDINANCE DOES NOT DO ANYTHING OF WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THAT FLYER.
AND THE, THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE IN THAT FLYER SAYS THAT THIS COUNCIL PASSED AN ORDINANCE AT THE LAST MEETING THAT AFFECTED RIGHT OF WAY.
AND WE CAN'T FIND ANY INFORMATION OR ANY ORDINANCE THAT YOU'VE PASSED THAT AFFECTED RIGHT OF WAY IN THE LAST FOUR MEETINGS MM-HMM
SO WE, WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF WHOEVER MADE THAT FLYER WOULD COME FORWARD, CONTACT CITY HALL SO THAT WE COULD DISCUSS IT AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT OR WHAT THE CONCERN IS.
BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST WE'RE HEARING OF IT.
WE'VE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT GRASS GRAVEL PARKING IN YARDS OR ANYTHING.
WE WOULD, WE WOULD APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS IT.
I'D LIKE TO SHARE SOMETHING AS WELL.
I LIVE IN OLD TOWN, AUBREY AND MY SON JUST CAME HOME FROM TARLETON AND HIS CAR IS NEXT TO MY HOUSE AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT.
I'M NOT GOOD WITH HOA RULES IN OLD AUBREY NEVER HAVE BEEN.
I'VE SERVED UNDER FOUR MAYORS AND ALL FOUR KNOW THAT, INCLUDING THIS ONE.
AND ALSO, I WOULD ENCOURAGE Y'ALL, WHEN AN, WHEN AN ITEM IS ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT TALKS ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IN COUNSEL, THE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE.
YOU COULD HAVE READ THE ENTIRE ORDINANCE AND THE, WHAT WE INTENDED TO DO ON THIS NINE BECAUSE IT WAS SPECIFIC TO A NUMBER 9 7 1 2 6.
YOU COULD HAVE READ IT AND SEEN THAT NONE OF THAT INFORMATION WAS INCLUDED.
IF ANYONE WANTS TO ASK A QUESTION, CAN THEY PLEASE COME TO THE MIC SO THAT IT'S ON THE RECORD? UH, AND PEOPLE MAY BE LISTENING, UH, REMOTELY CAN, CAN HEAR THE QUESTION ON THIS, ON THIS ORDINANCE THOUGH.
DOESN'T IT SAY SOMETHING? WELL, ONE I LOOKED AT THAT'S ONLINE, THAT'S NOW IN FORCE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THE RIGHT OF WAY.
YOU CANNOT PARK ON THE RIGHT WAY, BUT THAT THE RIGHT OF WAY IS NOT YOUR PROPERTY.
[00:45:01]
WHY I'M ASKING THE QUESTION.IF THE RIGHT OF WAY IS NOT MY PROPERTY, THEN I CAN'T PARK ON IT AND PART OF MY YARD IS THE RIGHT OF WAY.
THIS IS THE PARKING ORDINANCE.
AND SO DO YOU REMEMBER WHERE YOU SAW THAT RIGHT OF WAY PARKED? THAT'S DEFINITIONS.
SO IT WON'T TALK ABOUT PARKING.
I THOUGHT ALL OF THIS IS COVERING PARKING ON A STREET OR IN A LOADING ZONE OR IN NO PARKING ZONE OR OKAY.
I KNOW, BUT THE, THE, MY PROPERTY DOES NOT INCLUDE THE RIGHT OF WAY.
I'M ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING CARE OF IT.
WHEN YOU HAVE A STREET, I DON'T THINK THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN ADDRESS TONIGHT.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO WORK WITH THE CHIEF TO UNDERSTAND THE ORDINANCE BETTER.
BECAUSE I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT BECAUSE THE RIGHT OF WAY, I, I ACTUALLY PARKED MY CARS IN THE YARD AND IF I CAN'T PARK IN THE RIGHT OF WAY, NOTHING IN THIS ORDINANCE CHANGED ANY OF THAT.
AND YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT TRUCKS OR CARS OR ANYTHING.
WHAT ABOUT, OKAY, THE REASON I'M ASKING BECAUSE THERE'S A GUY UP THE STREET FROM ME.
I THINK WE, WHAT WE NEED TO DO AT THIS POINT IS YOU NEED TO MEET WITH THE CHIEF AT SOME POINT.
I KNOW, BUT YOU'RE NOT GONNA PASS THIS TONIGHT, ARE YOU? YEAH.
THE THE COUNSEL IS CONSIDERING IT TONIGHT? YES.
OKAY, THEN I NEED TO ASK A QUESTION.
WELL, YOU CAN MAKE STATEMENTS.
I'LL STATE THAT'S, THAT'S TO THE MAYOR.
HERE'S THE PROBLEM I HAVE, THERE'S A GUY UP THE STREET FROM ME THAT PARKS HIS TRUCK AND HIS TRAILER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET BECAUSE HE'S IN A DUPLEX AND CANNOT PARK HIS, HIS WORK TRUCK AND TRAILER, WHICH IS A LONG BED, UH, IN HIS YARD.
SO IF IT DOES INCLUDE THE RIGHT OF WAY, THAT'S THE PROBLEM I HAVE BECAUSE HE IS NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO PUT THAT TRUCK AND TRAILER NEAR HIS HOUSE ANYMORE.
AND WHERE IS HE GONNA PARK IT? THIS ON BROCK STREET? NO, IT'S ON BRUCE TOWARDS BROCK STREET.
THOSE DUPLEXES THERE IN, IN THE MIDDLE STREET THERE.
I I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO HE IS.
AND THERE'S A GUY UP ON FISH TRAP.
SO THAT, THOSE ARE ARE MY CONCERNS.
IF YOU'RE GONNA PASS THIS TONIGHT, YOU BETTER MAKE SURE THERE'S NOT A RIGHT OF WAY IN THERE.
MAYOR, CAN I CLARIFY ON THIS ORDINANCE, THE ONLY THING YOU'RE CONSIDERING THAT TONIGHT IS THE REMOVAL OF THE WORD MOTOR VEHICLE AND TRUCK.
THIS ORDINANCE IS ALREADY IN EFFECT.
YOU'RE NOT PASSING A NEW ORDINANCE TONIGHT.
YOU'RE ONLY AMENDING THE EXISTING ORDINANCE TO OFFER THE CITIZENS THE ABILITY TO PARK IN FRONT OF THEIR HOMES ON THE STREET.
YOU'RE NOT PASSING A NEW ORDINANCE.
THE CURRENT ORDINANCE SAYS YOU CANNOT PARK IN THE STREET.
WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT SO YOU CAN PARK IN THE STREET.
YOU CAN PARK ON OUR STREET IF YOU WANTED TO.
IF THERE'S AN ISSUE, WE'LL DISCUSS.
IF THERE'S AN ISSUE FOR CARS AND TRUCKS, I'LL GET WITH YOU FOR A LONG PERIOD.
THE OTHER THING DOESN'T CHANGE INFORMATION.
YOU WANT TO GIMME YOUR, I'LL, I'LL GIVE YOU, I'LL WRITE DOWN MY INFORMATION AND HAND IT TO YOU.
THE OTHER THING IS, DIDN'T THE AGENDA CHANGE? BECAUSE THE AGENDA THAT I LOOKED AT YESTERDAY, NUMBER 10, WAS NOT THE SAME THING I LOOKED AT THIS MORNING.
THE, THE AGENDA WAS POSTED LAST FRIDAY AND HASN'T.
I KNOW IT WAS VERY, NUMBER 10 WAS VERY VAGUE.
I COULDN'T MAKE HEADS OR TAILS OF IT.
AND NOW IT HAS THIS NEW PART ON IT.
UM, I'D LIKE TO THINK, I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYBODY THAT'S SPOKE ON THIS AND CAME UP HERE FOR THIS, BUT I'D LIKE TO ENCOURAGE YOU THAT IF YOU SEE SOMETHING ON FACEBOOK OR YOU GET A THING ON YOUR CAR, CHECK IT OUT AND MAKE SURE IT'S REAL.
'CAUSE A LOT OF STUFF'S GOING AROUND RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S NOT, UH, DID YOU STILL WANT TO SPEAK? I I THINK YOU'VE ADDRESSED THAT BEING ON THE AGENDA.
THE ONLY REALLY QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS WHO WE PROPERLY ADDRESS THINGS WITH WHEN IT COMES TO PARKING RIGHT AWAY, STREET, THAT KIND OF STUFF.
WE'VE TALKED TO CODE ENFORCEMENT, WE'VE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE AND WE DON'T REALLY GET ANY REALLY GOOD ANSWERS.
AND SO IT FEELS LIKE IT'S VERY UP TO AN INDIVIDUAL INTERPRETATION ON WHAT CAN AND CAN'T BE DONE.
SO I'D LIKE SOME GUIDANCE ON WHO SPECIFICALLY WE ACTUALLY TALK TO ABOUT THIS.
[00:50:03]
TAKE PICTURE.MY RECOMMENDATION BE TO APPROVE IT.
ANY MOTIONS ON ITEM NUMBER 10? MOTION TO APPROVE.
SECOND ONE, CHUCK ON FAVOR PASSES FIVE TO ZERO.
AGAIN, THANK, THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR SHOWING UP TO SPEAK ON THAT.

ALL IN FAVOR PASSES FIVE TO ZERO.
ALRIGHT, CONSIDERATION ACTS ON RESOLUTION NUMBER 1 0 5 9 DASH 26, CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE CREATION OF TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENTS ON NUMBER FIVE.
WE'RE JUST SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING DATE ON, UH, WHAT MS. SLUM HAS ALREADY COVERED.
I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION, CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING IN THE CREATION OFT NUMBER FIVE, FIRST 6:00 PM ON SEPTEMBER 24TH AT THE COUNCIL MEETING.
I SECOND MOTION MY CHUCK SECOND, MY CANDACE ALL IN FAVOR PASSES FIVE TO ZERO.
ALRIGHT, ITEM 24, CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION ON A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE 2026 WATER CIP PROJECTS.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNSEL.
THIS ITEM IS, UH, TO ALLOW FOR THE DESIGN OF NUMEROUS WATER DISTRIBUTION CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.
TWO OF THE PROJECTS INCLUDE 16 INCH WATER MAINS.
FIVE OF THE PROJECTS ARE 12 INCH WATER MAINS.
AND LASTLY, A 1 MILLION GALLON ELEVATED STORAGE TANK.
THESE PROJECTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE 20 26 20 27 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.
THESE PROJECTS ARE NEEDED TO CREATE THE SURFACE WATER ZONE NUMBER ONE IN PREPARATION FOR THE 2028 UPPER TRINITY DELIVERY OF WATER SUPPLY.
UH, THESE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ARE FUNDED THROUGH DEVELOPER CONTRIBUTIONS AND IMPACT FEES AND I'M AVAILABLE
[01:25:01]
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.MOVE TO APPROVE THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH BUR CAR HENDRICKS AND CARTER AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE DOCUMENTS SECOND BY CHUCK.
ALL IN FAVOR PASSES FIVE TO ZERO I 25.
CONSIDER AN ACT ON ORDINANCE NUMBER 9 81 DASH 26 REPEALING ARTICLE, A 5.000 FIRE PREVENTION FEE AND ADOPTING A NEW ARTICLE, A 5 0 0 0 FIRE PREVENTION FEES CHIEF.
GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNSEL.
THE ITEM BEFORE YOU, IF APPROVED, WOULD ADD VARIOUS FIRE SAFETY RELATED FEES TO THE EXISTING FEE SCHEDULE.
THE TIMING OF THIS ITEM IS INTENTIONAL AS FIRE MARSHALL TRENT BELL HAS ASSUMED ALL ASPECTS OF FIRE RELATED PLAN REVIEW, FIRE INSPECTIONS AND FIRE CODE ENFORCEMENT.
UH, THE PROPOSED, UH, FEES ARE INTENDED TO OFFSET OFFSET OPERATIONAL COSTS RELATED TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THESE INSPECTIONS AND REVIEWS.
ALL ITEMS LISTED IN THE SCHEDULE WITH THE EXCEPTIONS OF ITEMS 10, 11, 24 AND 32 ARE ALL DIRECTLY RELATED TO DEVELOPMENT OR REDEVELOPMENT OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.
ITEMS 10 AND 11 ARE RELATED TO FIREWORKS AND FIREWORKS SHOWS WITHIN THE CITY.
ITEM 24, UH, IS RESIDENTIAL BURNING PERMITS AND ITEM 32 ARE FALSE ALARM FEES.
AND WITH THAT I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT ANY OF THESE.
UH, IN, IN PERFORMING HIS DUE DILIGENCE, CAPTAIN BELL REVIEWED ALL OF OUR SURROUNDING JURISDICTIONS AS WELL AS SEVERAL OF OUR OTHER PEER CITIES THAT WE VERY, UH, ARE VERY SIMILAR WITH.
UH, REVIEWED THEIR FEE SCHEDULES AND WE LANDED KIND OF SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE.
THERE'S QUITE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CITIES THAT ARE GROWING AND CITIES THAT ARE IN A MAINTENANCE POSITION, UH, IN WHAT THEY FOCUS ON WITH THEIR FEES.
SO CITIES THAT ARE GROWING HAVE MORE AGGRESSIVE DEVELOPMENT FEES AND AREN'T SO FOCUSED ON THE FEES THAT ARE RELATED TO LIKE MAINTAINING INSPECTIONS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
SO, UH, I THINK WE LANDED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.
I DON'T THINK WE'RE AT THE TOP ON ANY OF THE NUMBERS AND I THINK IT'S A PRETTY FAIR PLACE TO START.
UH, WE INTEND TO EVALUATE THIS ANNUALLY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COVERING OUR COSTS, UH, AND MANAGING THE PROGRAM EFFICIENTLY.
JUST A REMINDER, WE'RE UNDER A BURN BAN TOO.
I MOVE TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENTS TO THE FEE SCHEDULE IS PRESENTED.
SECOND MOTION BY JEFF SECOND, MY TRUCK.
ALL IN FAVOR? PASSAGE FIVE ZERO.
NUMBER 26 CONSIDERATION ON ACCIDENT ORDINANCE 9 8 2 DASH 26 TO ESTABLISH AN OH THROUGH COMMERCIAL TRUCK ZONE ON PORTIONS OF EAST BLACKJACK ROAD.
GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNSEL.
MM-HMM
WHAT WE'RE GONNA ASK THEM TO DO IS JUST MOVE TO 4 28.
BLACKJACK ROAD IS NOT DESIGNED FOR MY SUV AND AN 18 WHEELER AT THE SAME TIME, PARTICULARLY NOT AT 40 MILES AN HOUR.
UM, I HAD TO RUN TWO WHEELS OFF THE ROAD.
ONE, AND IT WASN'T REALLY HIS FAULT.
HE WAS DOING THE BEST HE COULD WITH THE ROAD, UH, BUT IT WAS AT A PARTICULAR POINT WHERE YOU, YOU CAN'T GET OFF.
UM, AND THEN WE ALSO HAD A TRUCK HIT A TREE THAT WAS RIGHT OFF THE EDGE OF THE ROAD.
THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH ROOM ON THERE.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND COUNSEL OF THE THREE E PROGRAM THAT THIS IS THE ENGINEERING PART AND NEXT WE'LL COME THE EDUCATION PART.
WE'LL VISIT WITH A, THERE'S A PIT OPERATING MM-HMM
THAT THEY'RE GOING TO AND FROM.
AND WE'LL VISIT THE PIT, WE'LL TALK TO THE TRUCKERS.
WE'RE NOT GONNA START RIDING TICKETS IMMEDIATELY.
WE'LL GO THROUGH AN EDUCATION PROCESS.
WE MAY EVEN MAKE A HANDOUT FOR THEM IF WE CAN FIGURE OUT IF IT'S GONNA BE NECESSARY OR NOT.
BECAUSE I'M BELIEVING IF WE GET THE INFORMATION TO THE PIT WHICH GETS IT TO THE DRIVERS, THEN IT'S NOT GONNA BE A PROBLEM AND IT'S PROPERLY SIGNED.
SO I BELIEVE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CITIZENS DRIVING DOWN BLACK JACKET, IT WOULD BE A BENEFIT TO THE CITY AND TO OUR CITIZENS IF WE PASS THIS NO THROUGH TRUCK
[01:30:02]
ZONE.IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER.
I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE.
ALL IN FAVOR PASSES FIVE TO ZERO.
PROVIDE DIRECTION OF STAFF REGARDING PERMITTED ROADWAY NAME DESIGNATIONS ALONG THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF FM 1385 AND FM 29 31.
UM, I ASKED TO HAVE THIS ADDED TO THE AGENDA.
WE'VE RECENTLY, UM, ASSIGNED A NOMENCLATURE TO US 3 77, UH, CALLING IT RED ROBERTS PARKWAY.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO DO THE SAME WITH 1385 AND 29 31.
UM, AS CONSTRUCTION HAPPENS AND THEY START PUTTING UP LIGHTS AND SIGNS, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO SPEND THAT MONEY ONCE TO PUT THE SIGNS UP RATHER THAN PUT UP ONE SIGN AND THEN TAKE IT DOWN AND PUT UP ANOTHER SIGN.
SO, UM, ON WE, I STARTED ON FM 1385.
UH, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE'S SEEN, BUT TEXDOT HAS REALLOCATED FUNDS TO FUND PHASE ONE OF THE 1385 EXPANSION, UM, FOR 1.3 MILES FROM THREE 80 UP TO UNION PARK BOULEVARD.
UH, IN THAT, UH, THEY REALIGNED G ROAD TO BECOME 1385.
SO IF YOU WERE TO TRAVEL SOUTH ON 1385 AND NOT CHANGE ROADS, YOU WOULD END UP OUT AT G ROAD AT THREE 80 BY THE KROGER AND, UH, RACETRACK.
UH, SO MY ORIGINAL, MY INITIAL PROPOSAL WAS TO GO WITH G ON 1385 JUST SO WE'RE NOT CHANGING NAMES AS WE TRAVEL DOWN THE SAME ROAD.
UM, I'VE TALKED TO THE MAYORS WITH THE, THE FRONT, THAT ROAD, UM, SOLINA SAID WE DON'T REALLY CARE.
UH, POWERPOINT SAID THEY DON'T REALLY CARE, THEY WOULD PREFER PARKWAY BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE A G STREET IN THE CITY.
UH, UH, PROSPER SAID WE HAVE TO TALK TO STAFF IF WE WANT TO CHANGE G ROAD TO G PARKWAY.
SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, G PARKWAY, G ROAD, IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, BUT JUST WANTED TO GET YOUR GUYS' INPUT AND GET SOME DIRECT STAFF.
IS IT G STREET OR G STREET OR G PARKWAY? EITHER WAY OR G ROAD.
I MEAN IT COULD BE WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE, BUT UH, I'M JUST PROPOSING G BECAUSE IT IS G ON THE SOUTH END.
AT WHEN IT HITS THREE 80, IF WE DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN G IT WILL CHANGE.
UM, ONCE YOU HIT THE FISH TRAP AREA, THEN WE WILL BECOME G WELL IT NEEDS TO STATE G I'M GOOD.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION.
WE KEEP IT G ROAD OR G STREET, WHATEVER MEANS IT'S JUST DIRECTION.
THIS IS JUST DIRECTION FOR US.
WE'LL HAVE TO BRING YOU BACK IN.
CAN I TAKE BACK MY MOTION?
ALRIGHT, WELL THEN, UH, FM 29 31.
THEY'RE CURRENTLY PUTTING A LOT IN AT 29 31 ON SPRING HILL.
UM, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE BEEN OUT THAT WAY LATELY, BUT THE NEW TURN LANES ARE AWESOME.
UH, THEY HAVE THE CONCRETE PORT FOR THE BASES FOR THE LOTS ALREADY.
UM, SO I, I KIND OF PUT THIS ON HERE BECAUSE WE'RE ABOUT TO PUT SOME SIGNS UP.
UH, SO MY INITIAL, I MEAN WE'VE, WE'VE GONE THROUGH, CHARLES AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT UH, PROBABLY TWO DOZEN NAMES, POSSIBILITIES.
AND MY RECOMMENDATION KIND OF LANDED ON HERITAGE RANCH PARKWAY 'CAUSE IT THROWS SOME RECOGNITION TO THE RANCHES IN THE AREA.
BUT THE NAME IS TOTALLY UP TO EVERYBODY ELSE.
FIRE STATION THREE AT FRONTIER IS PROVIDENCE VILLAGE AND IS ALREADY NAMED THE MAIN STREET.
WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE NAME 'CAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE A MAIN STREET AND WE CAN'T HAVE TWO MAIN STREETS THAT INTERSECT OR INTERSECT EACH OTHER.
UH, SO YEAH, I THINK WE'VE GOT TWO MAIN STREETS IN THE SAME ZIP CODE WITH PROVIDENCE VILLAGE.
SO WE DON'T WANT THOSE TWO SAME MAIN STREETS TOUCHING EACH OTHER.
SO THE NAME WILL HAVE TO CHANGE THAT AT FRONTIER GOING NORTH.
AND THE ONLY OTHER CITY THAT HAS ANY 29 31 FRONTAGE WOULD BE PAUL POINT, BUT THEY HAVE NO CITY LIMITS ON THE THE ROAD CURRENTLY, SO THEY CAN'T EVEN NAME ANYTHING.
[01:35:02]
UH, FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, IT'D GO FROM FRONTIER TO OUR CURRENT CITY LIMITS AT BLACKJACK AND AS WE ANNEX UP FURTHER NORTH IN THE FUTURE, WE'D GO AS HIGH AS BELL ROAD, UH, AND THEN POWERPOINT WOULD'VE TO TAKE OVER.SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER NAMES, SUGGESTIONS OTHER THAN THAT? NO, I, NO.
WELL STAFF, YOU GOT THE DIRECTION THAT YOU NEED SIR.
[Discussion on Department Reports and Updates]
DISCUSSION ON DEPARTMENT REPORTS AND UPDATES.DO, DOES ADMIN HAVE ANY UPDATES? WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.
UH, PUBLIC SAFETY, POLICE, FIRE CODE ENFORCEMENT, ANYTHING.
ONLY THING I WILL SAY IS THE, UH, BROKE GROUND REFLECTION PARK AT STATION THREE AND THAT'S GONNA MOVE RELATIVELY QUICKLY.
UM, THEY SAID MAYBE, UH, FOUR WEEKS TO SIT TO EIGHT WEEKS, SO IT'LL BE DONE PRETTY QUICK.
SO THEY BROKE GROUND ON THE TRAINING CENTER CENTER.
DAN
THEY'RE DOING THE, UH, SECONDARY SOIL TESTING AND THEY'LL START DOING COMPACTION BACK IN.
I SAW SOME TRUCKS OUT THERE TODAY, SO I THINK THEY'RE BACK, UH, GETTING MOBILIZED.
UH, AND THEN ALSO WHY I'M UP HERE, UH, YOU PROBABLY SAW ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND THIS IS THE TRUTH.
WE, WE DEPLOYED RESOURCES TO ASSIST, UH, IN PAL PINTO COUNTY TO THE ROSS FIRE FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS.
UH, TODAY COMPLETES THAT MISSION FOR US.
UH, WE WERE PART OF A, UH, MUTUAL AID STRIKE TEAM FROM DENTON COUNTY AND WE WERE HONORED TO HELP OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE WEST, UH, IN THEIR TIME OF NEED.
I'M GLAD ALL Y'ALL CAME BACK SAFE FOR STATE SAFE OPERATIONS.
HOW'S YOUR TURN DAVE? UM,
IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE AND THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON OUT THERE.
THE BUILDINGS ARE BEING FINISHED AND THEY'RE STARTING TO PUT TRIM AROUND WINDOWS AND DOORS.
AND SO I PICKED ONE AND I PICKED THE UH, THE SCREW PRESS ROOM BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT THIS ONE.
WE HAD TO DO A CHANGE ORDER BECAUSE THE BUILDING WASN'T GONNA BE BIG ENOUGH FOR THE PRESSES.
AND UH, YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE INSIDE OF THE ROOM THERE NOW.
AND YOU CAN SEE EVEN AFTER WE MADE THE BUILDING BIGGER, HOW TIGHT, YOU KNOW, THE SCREW PUMPS FIT.
YOU STILL NEEDED ANOTHER FOUR FEET
IT IT IS BECAUSE ALL THE WORK IS IN THE MIDDLE.
IT'S IN BETWEEN THE, THE INLET PIPE AND THE ALLEY PIPE.
AT LEAST THEY GOT YOUR GOOD SIGHT IN THE PICTURE.
NOW YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE, THE SCREW PRESSES LOOK LIKE.
UM, THE WATER COMES IN THE FAR SIDE AND AS IT GOES THROUGH IT, IT TURNS, IT ACTUALLY JUST GETS SMALLER.
UM, RIGHT NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL HAVE BEEN OUT THERE, WE'VE GOT A BELT FILTER PRESS AND THE SLUDGE COMES OUT ON IT AND CONVEYS AND IT JUST PRESSES THE WATER OUT OF THE SLUDGE.
AND THEN WHEN IT COMES OUT ON THE END, IT'S A DRY CAKE GOES IN THE DUMPSTER AND IT'S OUT OF THERE.
WELL THIS ONE, IT'S ACTUALLY LIKE A SCREW PUMP THAT GETS SMALLER AND AS THE SCREW PUSHES IT, IT SQUEEZES THE WATER OUT OF IT.
IT DOES THE SAME THING, BUT IT CAN DO MORE SOLIDS FASTER BECAUSE THIS IS FOR TWO AND A QUARTER MILLION GALLONS INSTEAD OF 400,000 LIKE WE'VE BEEN DOING.
SO, UM, ANYWAY, YOU CAN SEE THE AUGER AT THE BOTTOM THERE TOO.
WHAT IT DOES, IT COMES OUT ON THE YELLOW END OF THE SCREW PRESS AND DROPS DOWN IN THAT LITTLE FUNNEL TROUGH DOWN THERE.
AND THE PART GOING UP ON AN ANGLE IS THE AUGER.
AND I THINK WE GOT A PICTURE OF THE OUTSIDE TOO.
AND YOU CAN SEE HOW IT JUST AUGERS IT OUTSIDE AND THEN IF WE HAVE A DUMPSTER OR TRUCK, WHATEVER WE HAVE UNDER THERE, IT JUST SCREWS
[01:40:01]
THE, THE DRY SLUDGE OUT INTO THE DUMPSTER AND BOOM, GONE TO THE LANDFILL.SO THAT'S WHAT, AND YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDING NOW, YOU KNOW WHAT THE INSIDE LOOKS LIKE AND THE OUTSIDE LOOKS LIKE AND IT'S REALLY SHAPING UP GOOD.
THEY'VE EVEN GOT THE RAILS, UH, DOWN BELOW THE BEAMS FOR WHATEVER WE PUT IN THERE.
YOU CAN SEE THE ANGLE KINDA LAYING NEXT TO THAT TWO BY FOUR AND IT GUIDES THAT DUMPSTER IN SO IT'S ALWAYS CENTERED UNDERNEATH THE, YOU KNOW, THE SLUDGE DROPPING.
SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE.
I THINK THAT UNLESS THERE'S ANOTHER PICTURE OF ME, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S IT.
ANYWAY, IT'S, IT IS GOING REALLY WELL.
I THINK IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THROUGH JANUARY, FEBRUARY OF 27TH.
SO THEY'RE PUMPING OUR EFFLUENT WATER INTO THE AERATION BASIN TO RIGHT NOW, I MEAN TO KIND OF GIVE IT A HEADSTART.
WE'RE JUST A FEW MONTHS AWAY, SO THAT'S, EVERYBODY'S GETTING EXCITED AND YOU KINDA SEE DOWN THE HILL THERE TOO.
THE OTHER BUILDINGS AND PIPING, UH, THERE'S BLOWERS AND PUMPS EVERYWHERE NOW THAT WERE ON PALLETS JUST SHORT TIME AGO.
[Future Agenda Requests]
ANY FUTURE AGENDA REQUESTS? MAYOR? NEXT MONTH WE NEED TO DO A, UH, OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE COUNCIL IF EVERYBODY'S AVAILABLE FOR THAT MEETING.UH, WE'LL GET THAT DONE RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING.
AND TWO, WE PROBABLY NEED TO DISCUSS AT YOUR NEXT MEETING.
CHANGING OUR REGULAR MEETING DATES IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER.
THEY BOTH FALL ON THE HOLIDAYS DUE DUE TO OUR SUBMISSION SCHEDULE.
I THOUGHT WE ALREADY DID THAT.
I THOUGHT MY, I WAS GONNA SAY I I'M PRETTY SURE ALL THAT WORK NOW THOUGH.
MAYOR, CAN I SAY SOMETHING REAL QUICK? YEAH, BEFORE WE GO TO EXECUTIVE SESSION, EVERYBODY EITHER LEAVES OR GETS TIRED OF WAITING OUT HERE FOR US TO GET DONE BACK THERE.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE, UH, I THINK A LOT OF THE MISCOMMUNICATION THAT GOES ON IS BECAUSE OF A LACK OF INFORMATION AND IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE CITY, AND I'M NOT TRYING TO TALK DOWN TO ANYBODY, I'M JUST, JUST SAYING IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW CITIES WORK, IT'S EASY TO BELIEVE WHAT YOU HEAR.
SO WE'VE GOT AN AUBREY CITIZENS ACADEMY WHERE YOU CAN SEE WHAT OUR RESTRICTIONS ARE, WHAT WE CAN DO, WHAT WE CAN'T DO, AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
I I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY THINKS THAT, THAT ALL POLITICIANS ARE GREEDY AND THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF THAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT, PEOPLE THAT SIT UP AT THIS DICE.
BUT I REALLY THINK THAT YOU WOULD GAIN A LOT OF INFORMATION BY ATTENDING THAT AUBREY CITIZENS ACADEMY.
IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM AND A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT THERE DEFENDING US ON FACEBOOK HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT.
THEY UNDERSTAND IT'S REAL EASY TO GET CONFUSED AND FALL INTO ALL THE GOSSIP AND RUMORS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
SO I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IT'S THERE AND I'D ENCOURAGE YOU TO, TO ATTEND.
I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO ADD THAT THE MAYOR IS DOING HIS 12, I BELIEVE 12 PART SERIES WHERE YOU WERE COVERING ALL OF THAT.
YEAH, I MEAN IT WAS LIKE 17 AND I WAS DONE, BUT I ADDED ANOTHER ONE TODAY.
SO THEY'RE VERY HELPFUL AND THEY ACTUALLY BREAK THROUGH.
I I READING THOSE CAN ALSO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS.
YES, BECAUSE IF I WASN'T ON COUNCIL I MIGHT BE MAD JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
CAN I MAKE A COMMENT HERE? I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I ATTENDED THE FIRST AUBREY CITIZENS UNIVERSITY AND FOUND IT VERY ENLIGHTENING AS WELL.
UM, IN FACT, THE WORK I'M DOING, UM, NOT THERE IN PERSON IS WORKING WITH TML DOWN IN AUSTIN TO HELP, UH, AFFECT SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO GIVE CITIES POWER BACK.
UM, BUT YES, HIGHLY RECOMMEND ATTENDING THE AY CITIZENS UNIVERSITY IF YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO SO.
APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN NOW ON THE WEBSITE.
I THINK WE HAVE ABOUT 21 OR 22 SO FAR.
WE'LL BE GOING THROUGH THEM PRETTY SOON.
WE'RE NOT READY TO CLOSE QUITE YET, BUT IT WON'T BE LONG BECAUSE WE NEED TO GET EVERYBODY NOTIFIED.
IF ANYBODY'S GOT MY FACEBOOK, I'LL SHARE IT ON MY, I WILL ADD JEFF PERRY BY THE WAY.
NO, I WAS JUST SAYING I'M JEFF PERRY BY THE WAY, IF WE, IF WE HAVEN'T MET THEN IT'S NICE TO MEET Y'ALL.
I, I WILL ADD THE PREFERENCE FOR ASSIGNMENT IN THE A CU IS GIVEN TO, UH, AUBREY RESIDENCE, CITY OF AUBREY RE RESIDENCE FIRST
[01:45:01]
AND THEN WE LOOK AT ETJ APPLICANTS.[EXECUTIVE SESSION]
